LIGHT FALLS

by Simon Stephens


"Look me in the eye and tell me you'll never leave me..."

A woman wakes up with a stranger beside her. A student argues with his lover. A single mother fights to feed her baby. A married man flirts with two younger women. And far away, one devastating event is about to change all their lives forever.

This extraordinary play by Simon Stephens, connects five relatives in five disparate English towns, from Blackpool to Durham, Light Falls is a richly layered play about life in the face of death, about how our love survives us after we've gone - and about how family, community and kindness help the North survive.

Performed by 4th year BA (Hons) Acting and English students.

Contains adult themes
