Person 1 (Lucas Tennant, he/him) and Person 2 (Andy West, they/them) struggle against each other and the empty space they&rsquo;re trapped in to find a way out. Riffing on absurdism and existentialism (and not without a dash of humour), this play explores how we deny and deal with meaninglessness.<div dir="auto" fr-original-style="background: transparent; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); margin-inline-start: 0px !important; text-align: initial; margin: 0px; color: rgb(74, 34, 0); font-family: helvetica-w01-light, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.5; min-height: auto; print-color-adjust: exact; text-decoration: none; box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); text-align: initial; color: rgb(74, 34, 0); font-family: helvetica-w01-light, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.5; min-height: auto; print-color-adjust: exact; text-decoration: none; box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; margin-inline-start: 0px !important; margin: 0px;"> </div>Ghostlight Productions submiited this show to compete for the first time in the 2025 Eastern Ontario Drama League One-Act Fesitval in Merrickville.
