Hey You, Light Man
$19.00
Hey you, Light Man! reveals the story of Ashley Knight, a leading man who has decided to live onstage in the set of his current hit to escape from his oppressive family obligations. Lula Roca, herself in transition after a life crisis and seeking a home, has been accidentally locked in the theater. Ashley persuades her to come onstage, and then to stay with him for the night. The story examines what transpires when one man’s escapism collides head-on with the harsh realities of life and responsibility, while one woman grappling with homelessness creates a new definition of what it means to be home. This romantic comedy, in the tradition of theater of the absurd, explores the universal conflict between daydream and reality. In the experimental vein that has defined Firebrand Theory, the multi-media staging of this production visually represents the evolution of Lula Roca’s mind as she processes her experiences.
