How The Light Gets In

World Premiere, Boston Court, 2019


‘Light’ is an apt metaphor that describes Emilie Pascale Beck’s invisibly light touch.

-Leigh Kennicott, Showmag


Going to the theatre can be an act of faith, a search for meaning or simply a search for entertainment. It’s unusual to come across a play that satisfies all three in a production that refuses to leave you long after you’ve left it — the most nourishing of possible outcomes. How the Light Gets In is a study in inward emotions. You may read into that whatever you wish. This intimate piece is written with a few well-chosen words by E. M. Lewis and directed by Emilie Pascale Beck just as quintessentially as it is written. That is its triumph.
