Darken, Less a Light On. An absurdist play written and directed by Kevin Grammer.

“Playwright Kevin Grammer’s Darken, Less a Light On at Ochre House Theater has a foot in two worlds—the Absurd and the All Too Possible.”

“…the music is great, the acting lively, and the play’s focus on freedoms gives us plenty to ponder on the way home.”

Darken, Less a Light On poster

an original absurdist play, written and directed by Kevin Grammer.

As we’re all excruciatingly aware, these are wacko times. The new play by Kevin Grammer inhabits our modern milieu like an ostrich swimming in cabbage. It floats on the Ochre season’s theme of empowering women.

As we begin, our heroine does something secretive most would consider courageous and, naturally, now fears for her life. Fortunately (for the audience), she is surrounded by an eccentric collection of family, friends, and strangers who in turn know exactly what this broken woman should do to restore her peace.

Alan Green sets an absurd(ist) pace with the drums.
