Brilliant Traces

By Cindy Lou Johnson [PG-13]

Directed by Len Matheo.

As an Alaskan snowstorm rages outside, there is a desperate knocking on Henry Harry's cabin door. He opens it to find a beautiful woman, dressed in nothing but her sweat-stained bridal gown. Thus begins a beautifully crafted one-act play about a man and a woman who meet in the middle of nowhere, and are attracted and repulsed by turns as they undertake an incredibly passionate journey within the symbolic confines of a lonely cabin.

"'Brilliant Traces' are the scars of love," says director Len Matheo. "This play is an emotional fantasy that is fundamentally about being wounded and recovering. It's about what we all feel at some point - the fear of being indistinguishable, unseen, misunderstood - truly and deeply alone. These characters have experienced loss that magnifies those fears. But there is hope."
