Description

'Witty, yet painfully authentic' (The Student), Lights Out is an intimate, real-time conversation following two sisters, as they slowly move from playful banter, such as hypothetical debates over fruit salad, to conflicting memories which begin to uncover shared trauma. We start to question themes surrounding the nature of our changing relationships as we grow up, whether ignorance is truly bliss and how reactions shape the moral perception of an event. In a play filled with 'laughter and silence' (The Student), the bitterly nostalgic shift of perspectives enlightens our understanding of familial relationships.

The play’s engagement with moments of ambiguity stands out as Webb’s most promising achievements

The Student (3.5/5 stars) 34 days ago

Despite dealing with heavy subject matter in places, the play remains light and highly watchable, it will leave you with a pleasant taste in your mouth and is particularly pertinent to university students.
