ABOUT THE PLAY
Escaping their lives in Manhattan, former college buddies Matt and Davis take off to the Netherlands and find themselves thrown into a bizarre love triangle with a beautiful young prostitute named Christina. But the romance they encounter in Europe is eventually overshadowed by the truth they discover at home. Written with an unflinching poetic beauty, Red Light Winter is a play of sexual intrigue that explores the myriad and misguided ways we seek to fill the empty spaces inside.

NOTABLE REVIEWS
"Brilliantly performed and directed. Please do not miss this opportunity. If it were on Broadway there would Tony awards given out to this show. Just Go"
Barbara Deutsch, Author & life Coach
"The production is fearless - almost unethical in its provocation. The actors and director live lives baldly so that we may have own stories placed squarely on our laps"
Andrew Mcllroy, Artistic Director, Andrew Mcllroy & Associates
