Light Falls presented by Steep Theatre at Theater Wit

Chicago Tribune - Highly Recommended

"...Witt's production, for the record, is simple, kind and exquisite. This ensemble cast, made up of Thulin, Stephanie Mattos, Nate Faust, Pete Moore, Cindy Marker, Omer Abbas Salem, Brandon Rivera, Tina El Gamal (on the night I saw the show), Ashlyn Lozano and Debo Balogun all are in pretty deep here."

Chicago Reader - Recommended

"...Light Falls, on the imperfection of the living and the idealization of the dead, is rambling, sentimental, and laden with wish fulfillment: our desire to love our mothers, our desire, despite our worst failures, to be loved, and our desire to speak with those who have departed. In the role of Ashe, Lozano is especially effective, a living conduit of a grief others lack the courage to express."

Third Coast Review - Highly Recommended

"...Light Falls is a sweetly tragic and stirring family story about death, loneliness, sexual betrayal and the meaning of time lost and found. Simon Stephens' latest play, set in 2017 in the North of England, is being staged in a U.S. premiere by Steep Theatre. Robin Witt directs her sixth Stephens play for Steep."

Chicago On Stage - Highly Recommended

"..."There's nobody looking," the woman in the middle of the stage (played by Kendra Thulin) says. Her name, she tells us, is Christine, and from the sneaky tones in her voice, it's easy to see that she is doing something she shouldn't be doing, even if we don't know (yet) what it might be. There is something else, something we can't possibly read from her voice or her demeanor or her words because she herself doesn't know it: by the end of this, the opening monologue of Simon Stephens' provocative Light Falls, she will be dead."
