drama

There is nothing new under the sun and that includes women’s rights and migrants seeking asylum. Both issues are currently at the forefront of news headlines and political discourse. They were also top of mind 2,500 years ago for the Greek dramatist, Aeschylus, when he wrote the tragic play “The Suppliants.” 

“The Light,” by playwright Loy A. Webb, showcases a strong romantic relationship that’s tested as secrets from the past are revealed and change the dynamic between a couple. Running at Boston’s Lyric Stage through June 26, the intimate two-person play explores what it means to love someone.
