Christmas

Disappearance of son provides compelling study of grief and loss "At three o´clock in the morning, this is what I think. I think somebody killed him. They killed him, God, I don´t know how I´m uttering these words...they killed him because he´s white and Western and they hated him. And it wasn´t personal. Which somehow makes it worse." When Lia and Nick´s son disappears when overseas, all they have is an email that he was thinking of going to Jakarta, leaving them with their own grief and uncertainty. And then a stranger appears, uncannily like their son, covered in scars and holding Adam´s passport...Enlightenment is a powerful study of parental grief and of hope amidst uncertainty.; Published to tie-in with the world premier at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in March 2005.; Major new work by the writer of the Olivier Award-winning West End hit The Memory of Water.
