Directors’ Cuts: How My Light Is Spent

BY ALAN HARRIS
Directed by Nikhil Vyas
Designed by Robin Davis
Tue 21 – Sat 25 May

Newport, Wales. Jimmy works in a doughnut shop. Kitty works for an adult chat line. Neither has met the other. Until, one day, this changes. Until, one day, Jimmy begins to vanish off the face of the earth. How My Light Is Spent is a lyrical, aching, joyous comedy about the unexpected places where love hides itself.

By arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
