Red Light Winter is a modern comic tragedy about true friendship and the importance and difficulties of love. Matt is a lonely and depressed playwright on a vacation in Amsterdam with his “best friend” Davis (a successful editor). When Davis surprises Matt with Christina (a local prostitute) Matt discovers a reason to live. When they return to New York City, things take a dark and unexpected twist as the events of the past return to challenge Matt’s perception of love.
Adam Rapp is one of an exciting and thought-provoking new generation of American playwrights. His plays are dense, rich pieces that juxtapose humour with doom and gloom. Red Light Winter is perhaps his most acclaimed play and was nominated for a Pulitzer prize in 2006.
Unit 102 Actor’s Company brings together a talented and energetic collective of artists under the direction of Canadian-born actors, writers and co-founders David Lafontaine, Luis Fernandes, Jesse Ryder Hughes and Scott Walker. Under their creative direction Unit 102 has appreciated great independent success and community support with the staging of dramas, comedies and classics favouring a contemporary, realistic style. They are the recipients of the NOW magazine’s 2015 readers choice award for best small theatre company. Recent productions include Last Days of Judas Iscariot, Lakeboat, The Hungry, Lobby Hero, Jesus Hopped the ‘A’ Train, American Buffalo and Hamlet.
