‘Enough to Let the Light In’ in rep at Contemporary American Theater Festival
There’s a secret at the heart of Paloma Nozicka’s Enough to Let the Light In, a new play running at the Contemporary American Theater Festival through July 28, but it isn’t the one the author intended. Part ghost story, part psychological thriller, part gay romance, Enough to Let the Light In seems to spend its 90 minutes searching for a dramatic center. When the big reveal does come, the production’s slow and sometimes awkward pacing, combined with plot points signaled well in advance, works against the build of tension the story demands. Rather than familiar horror tropes or heady dialogue about belief, doubt, logic, and irrationality, it is the characters’ backstories — particularly that of Cynthia — that elicit our deepest interest and empathy. There’s a lot to uncover in Enough to Let the Light In, but one senses that some of the play’s most rewarding secrets have yet to come to light.
