Dark, Love, and Light

A 21st century play with Shakespeare-style language, set in Ireland, England, and the United States. At summer's end in Spiddal, Galway, Ireland, Annabel O'Connor and English boy Orville Whitworth are eighteen and in love with each other. They have their first date in Annabel's local church - her unusual choice. Annabel, Orville, English friend Kara Stevenson, other friends, and family attend a ceremony for the global Irish diaspora at Galway Airport, along with multiple world leaders. Annabel travels with her father and her friend Josie to Denver, U.S.A. With her father's Saudi Arabian friend Habib they attend an entertainment company launch, and visit a mosque. Orville and Kara, meanwhile, travel with friend Preston to Birmingham, England. There he plays as a guest player in a rugby match for his old club. He and his friends also visit his English family home. Back in Ireland, Annabel, Orville, and Kara learn more about life in all its diversity.
