Prefers Bright Indirect Light

Recommended by

  • Steven G. Martin: Prefers Bright Indirect Light

    I recommend "Prefers Bright Indirect Light" for reading and production because Veronica Tjioe puts her characters through the emotional wringer. They experience everything from grief and despair, disillusionment and ennui to -- and this is where I found myself so very happy -- bright, genuine, mood-altering joy.

    Nicely distinct characters, plenty of emotions and reverses, some existential themes, and a bit of joy? I really like this short comedy.

    Sweet and funny play with wonderful characters and hilarious dialogue. Would love to see this on stage!

    Zippy, funny, sweet and angsty in a Beckett-esque way. This contemplative comedy makes you question what we really are on earth for.
