    The Lantern follows up our Barrymore Award-winning production of Skylight with another modern masterpiece by one of Britain's most influential playwrights. Experience David Hare's intimate, electrifying writing in this unexpected love triangle. Frances, a successful author, takes the late ferry to a remote cottage on the Isle of Wight to find Madeleine, a retired curator, near-recluse... and her ex-husband's mistress. Frances is chasing a story – the same story Madeleine might be running from. Eavesdrop on two witty, sexy women of a certain age as the night unfolds its secrets and they discover a shared past.

      • Accessibility Info

          We regret that our resident home, St. Stephen's Theater, requires the use of stairs and is therefore not accessible to patrons using a wheelchair. We are, however, able to accommodate patrons with other special needs. When ordering tickets, please let us know how we can assist you.
