In the end she must decide which doors to leave open for light and which windows to bar against the cold. A modern poetic Latina retelling of the Persephone Myth.

DC Theater Arts - Highly Recommended

"...Love is more than safety and self-sacrifice; it is freedom and being able to receive someone else’s sacrifice. A stronger message will be tough to find, especially when it comes to being able to love yourself. Featured as a rolling world premier at the Venus Theatre Company, new play Light of Night written by aspiring playwright Cecilia Copeland, brings this strong message of love and all manners of sacrifice to the audience in a provocative and riveting fashion. Directed by Founding Artistic Director Deborah Randall, this dark and unapologetic production grabs hold and pulls you through an emotionally unbalanced journey of self-discovery and self-forgiveness. Truly remarkable theatre pushing the envelope when it comes to comforting the uncomfortable and discomforting those that are comfortable, this engaging new work is both darkly twisted and inspiring."

Cecilia Copeland’s fantastical domestic drama Light of Night at Venus Theatre at times is genuinely uncomfortable for the audience in the best senses of the word, but overall the experience is thoughtful, hopeful, and memorable.
