About Light Up the Sky
Comedy:
Set in a suite in Boston’s Ritz-Carlton Hotel in the 1940s, the play revolves around a group of New York theatre-folk watching the opening night of their new play written by a truck driver. Hoping for success and moving on to Broadway, the cast of characters includes the playwright, a temperamental leading actress and her gin-rummy playing mother, a flamboyant director, a lowbrow producer and his wise-cracking ice-skater wife, plus the show’s backer. Is the show a flop or isn’t it? Is everyone together on this? Or Friends or foes? Ambitious and complacent or superficial or lacking in depth? Does it matter?
