Production History Skylight
By David Hare
Directed by Dan Kern February 1 - March 2, 2008 David Hare, hailed by London's The Guardian as a playwright who "engages the heart and mind," brings together past lovers for a heated reunion in a chilly London flat. Gutsy, sexy, and stubborn Kyra and sophisticated, witty, and reserved Tom are an unlikely and volatile match. Intimate, thought-provoking, and often funny, Skylight is a head-on collision of wills and desires from a powerful voice in contemporary theater. "A play can't get much more intimate... Geneviève Perrier makes a remarkable Kyra. Peter DeLaurier is masterful." –The Philadephia Inquirer "Compelling direction and a pair of richly textured performances... stunning production!" –Broad Street Review "Brilliant writing, brilliant theater. Gritty and beautiful." –WRTI-FM "Engrossingly sincere performances." –Philadephia City Paper "Three actors giving of themselves as honestly as they can... and I'm not sure I can think of a better reason to see a play." –Philadelphia Metro
