After three years in Tokyo, criminal lawyer Harry returns to London, seeking to reconcile with Edna-Jane, his estranged childhood friend and former partner. Four years earlier, their lives were shattered by the stillbirth of their child, officially blamed on a hit-and-run accident. While Edna-Jane has fought to rebuild her life, Harry has concealed a harrowing truth about that night- a secret that, once uncovered, could dismantle the delicate bond they are striving to mend.

Now a playwright and actress, Edna-Jane pours her grief into crafting three searing interior monologues, peeling back the layers of their fractured history. What begins as an act of creative expression evolves into a raw, unflinching interrogation of love, loss, and betrayal.

Voicing the terrors of postmodernism and the labyrinthine city, and through military, political, historic and religious references 'The Northern Lights' presents life as a theatre of decay and love as a cosplay.All Rights Reserved
