Matt and Davis are burgeoning, literary intellectuals off on a wild, dreamlike romp around Amsterdam. Well, at least Davis is. Matt is suicidal
and ruining Davis’s trip. So Davis hires Christina, a (definitely) gorgeous, (presumably) French prostitute to cheer up his friend. After their encounter,
Matt falls hard for Christina, who has in turn fallen hard for Davis. Red Light Winter is an intimate, delicate window into the way delusions shape our truth and what we can glean from these “slightly refracted parallel realities.”
COVID 19: Boosters and KN95 masks are required to enter the venue. Masks will be also available at the door. The safety of our audience and artist is a priority. Thank you for helping us keep Theaterlab a safe space for everyone.
