Long lost loves and their memories can haunt us for the rest of our lives as we often think that maybe if they had stayed with us that our life would have been a little better or at least just a little different. In "Glowworms", Donald Loftus gives us one such love that was lost and the audience is caught up in the Professor's tale from the very start until the chilling conclusion as he tries to right a wrong decision made all those many years ago.

A elderly, bedridden professor awakes from a fever dream knowing that his days have reached their end. As he recounts to his young female caretaker a tale from his youth of graveyards and ghosts and love and loss, they both come to the realization that the line between loneliness and fulfillment can be a thin one. A short, poignant play about missed opportunities and the regrets that can haunt you for a lifetime

Tender, eerie, and beautifully melancholic, GLOWWORMS unfolds as both a love story and a ghost story, each deepening the other. Loftus writes with quiet grace, drawing us into a final reckoning shaped by loneliness, devotion, and longing.
