    All the possibilities of what might have been if we had taken the other road when we come to those forks in them. Two men on very different paths meet up again 30 years after their last met and this beautiful play deals with the possibilities that may have been and still could be even though age and time may have changed both, there might still be a spark that is there to relight the flames that have dimmed but obviously not gone out.

    Such a beautifully written short play that packs a lot into it. Decades have passed, and yet, these two aging ex-lovers find themselves unexpectedly meeting, and it seems that no time has passed. This well-crafted play tackles some big themes like it takes courage to be yourself, and if we got a second chance with a lost love, would we get it right this time? Donnelly is a master craftsman and I loved his fast-paced, witty dialogue. A great read that would stage beautifully.

    "Ambient Light" is a lovely two-hander about the endless pursuit of love and intimacy. Donnie and Phillip navigate memories of their shared past with the stilted unease that comes with decades of being apart. Their chance encounter at the National Gallery shows that while time can stretch the bonds between two people, it can't break them.
    Paul Donnelly gives us a tender portrayal of ex-lovers that would be perfect for a pair of older actors.

    This is so tragically beautiful, with a little glimmer of hope. It's so easy to think once you've hit a certain age that you could never find that joy and love you had when you were young. For Phillip, things are even more complicated. But, like a painting of Niagara Falls, you can see the beauty in the moment frozen and ignore the roar of tumultuousness of past anxieties...if only for a moment. There is hope. There is love. No matter your age and no matter your past.
