A SAMUEL FRENCH, LTD. TITLE
Short Play, Satire/Political Satire / 1w, 4m
Bertolt Brecht, Eva Geisel, Ernest Borneman
Lux in Tenebris, in Latin, meaning "Light in Darkness," is a short one-act farce, by the German dramatist Bertolt Brecht.
Paduk sets up a stall outside a brothel in the hopes of educating its customers surrounding the health dangers of prostitution. He charges an entry fee for his talks and business is booming as he steals away clientele from the brothel, whilst the women who work inside struggle to make ends meet. Proudly, the sign above his tent in the alleyway outside the brothel where his talks place, reads 'Let there be Light! Mass education', but are Paduk's intentions purely altruistic or will his inetegrity be challenged by the allure of capitalism and financial gain?
