Lightning and Jellyfish

Director Sam Fain brings us a show set in a rock-and-roll poster shop in the ’80s. Lightning and Jellyfish takes us into the hearts—and futures—of its characters. It’s about an evening in the life of a young woman on the brink of change–change that she’s trying to convince herself that she’s ready for. Realism vs. romanticism. Youth and frustration. Coming-of-age as a process rather than as moment. It’s about what we forgive in others and ourselves. It’s about making a connection right now. It’s about that Flock of Seagulls T-shirt at the bottom of your drawer and whether Springsteen or Dylan wrote a better wedding song.
