I so rarely am delighted with a script--and Light Switch had me reading without pausing. Maybe because I love the same authors that the main character Henry does? (Except for Wuthering Heights...) No, it's just such a clear coming of age story--coming of age complicated by being gay, too smart, and having autism. I'm so glad this script has garnered such success.

Saw this read at a Synchroniciti event. Lots of fun. Made me realize that you can write plays for the Staten Island Ferry even if you live in New Zealand. But. https://www.dialectsarchive.com/nebraska

I was all set to hate another play about gay men but this is strange and wonderful and painful. Oh, now I see the "magical realism" keyword. Magical realism is my favorite, and this play does it so well.

My kind of play--just a little magic in the middle of mundane reality. A kind of magical realism. Funny magic.

I'm not Italian, but come from a large extended family--and from a town near Weston, where the family in this play ends up. So already I have a connection.
The play manages the multiple generations, and the time shifts, beautifully. A perfect holiday play. And a lovely family play.
