Matthew Gibbon, liberal lion and university president, may have finally gone too far in his battle against the conservative dean of the law school - his son-in-law and former protégé. His daughter is caught between them and the entire university community is up in arms. The personal and political collide in this stunning new play about loyalty, power, and torture memos. If "sunlight is the best disinfectant," as Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis famously opined, is it telling that this play takes place entirely at night?  Recommended for ages 15 and older -- strong language and adult situations.

“A brilliant production…that demands debate and unfolds like a riveting soap opera you couldn’t dream of changing the channel on.”
– HeedtheHedononist.com

“Articulate and probing…Vanessa Miller’s staging of ‘Sunlight’ for ArtsWest is well-spoken.”
– Seattle Times

"A powerfully constructed drama...definitely worth a trip across the bridge." - KGO Radio
