Imagine a Western Nation growing more and more dangerous as the government sacrifices freedom for control. The fate of this small group of intellectuals unfolds in a story of heart and humor matched with equal parts horror.

Some reviews from productions of THE FEVER by Wallace Shawn, performed by Brad C. Light:

“Light brings it to life at the Fringe. Brad does an excellent job spilling the words out as if they are coming from his gut. I hung onto every word waiting with enthusiasm for the next sentence. I highly recommend this interesting and well-produced production.”

The Los Angeles Post – Rose Cesena 6.19.13

“…he dives deep, performing Shawn’s monologue with such intensity that it’s impossible to take your eyes off him. I’ve seen other productions but Light captures the anguish, digest, guilt, and sputtering rage behind Shawn’s words. And the effect is riveting.”

“Highly Recommended”

Jack Helbig
The Chicago Reader

“…Light in another tour-de-force performance. His central lament reveals how quickly our compassionate instincts fade once a traumatic moment has passed.”

“Recommended”
