The Portland Center Stage production, 'The Light', directed by Chip Miller, intertwines romance and a stark exposé of the sexual oppression faced by Black women. Featuring two main characters, Genesis, a charter school principal, and Rashad, a firefighter, their joyous relationship takes a shocking turn that challenges their commitment. The play, rich in emotional depth and cleverly set in the comfort of Genesis's condo, highlights not only personal struggles but also broader societal injustices, making it a poignant and essential piece of theatre.
Before the play begins, a voice states that the show is dedicated to every Black girl or woman who's been through darkness.
The story centers on its two appealing characters, Genesis and Rashad, who are celebrating their second anniversary, showcasing a smart, sexy love.
