    Webb writes a stunning relationship that is punctuated by immense joy as well as deep pain. The Light tackles the reality of sexual violence head on, particularly the unique trauma experienced by Black women.

    It is at once 100% completely relatable AND also that once in a lifetime opportunity to experience black intimate life not adjusted for whiteness. It’s refreshing to read a play about black people that is not based on (post) racial trauma.It’s rare and beautiful.
