The Lights

by Howard Korder

"Exhilarating and electrifying theater. It is fast, it is inevitable, and it is, as tragedy should be, weirdly beautiful" (New York Daily News) Rose, Lilian and her boyfriend, Frederic, are faces in the crowd, striving for the promise of a richer life that beckons all around them, just beyond our grasp. On their night-long journey from innocence to experience, The Lights follows them across the landscape of an unnamed twentieth-century city haunted by desperation, hope, passion, corruption and the ghosts of its own past.
