ABOUT THIS PLAY

“Available Light Theatre shapes the beguiling tragicomedy of deflection and awkward human connection into a brilliant Midwestern premiere… Amusing but devastating, unflinching but often tender… the acting and design meld into a nature-driven tapestry as colorful and changeable as an autumnal Calder mobile.”

– Michael Grossberg, Columbus Dispatch

When Mae’s dad gets sick at the same moment her life implodes, she ends up moving in with him back home.

Available Light is proud to share this story by a talented female playwright, a tender and darkly comic new play about family, intimacy, pain, fantasy and sexuality from a woman’s point of view.

“This terrific new play by Clare Barron…offers a hilarious and painfully affecting blend of oddball dialogue, beautifully observed family dynamics, and a preoccupation with the weird ways of the body.”

– The New Yorker
