HOPE LIGHT AND NOWHERE introduces us to Edward (Alex Austin), an extraordinary young man who finds himself in the ruined basement of his family home after an undisclosed disaster has laid waste to the world. In the strangeness of this post-apocalyptic landscape, Edward is visited by two other survivors: the aggressive skinhead Raffety (Ben Lee), and the disturbingly meticulous blind man Bleach (Richard Evans). Will Edward be able to leave? And what waits for him out there?
Andrew Sheridan won the prestigious Bruntwood Prize for his debut Winterlong, staged at the Soho Theatre and Royal Exchange in 2011.
Design is by star-in-the-making Linbury Prize-winner Jean Chan.
The extraordinary creative team is completed by 2013 Off West End Award Best Lighting Designer Richard Howell; and Patrick Gleeson, composer for 2012 Edinburgh smash A Clockwork Orange, now touring Australia after a sell-out run at the Soho Theatre.
