    ARCHIVE
    E.M. Lewis' richly human play, 'How the Light Gets In', is a heartfelt and poignant look at four grieving individuals who understand that personal connection, though messy, may be their best path to healing.

    £8 Student Tickets Available 

    A travel writer who never travels. A Japanese architect who can’t figure out how to build a simple tea house. A gifted tattoo artist who resists the power of his talents. And a homeless girl who lives under a weeping willow tree in the Japanese Garden. Four lonely people, their stories written on paper, earth, and skin, find each other when one of them falls apart. Together they realize the heart is as strong as it is fragile, and that the safety of home might be found in the most fearsome explorations. The power of E. M. Lewis’s ‘How the Light Gets In’ is truly in its exploration of the extraordinary in the ordinary.

    “It means so much to be working at CPT, it’s such a good opportunity to work in a professional environment at my age. I didn’t think that was ever going to happen and it means the world to me. It’s really going to help prepare me for my future and where I want to go”
