| Summary |
'More Light' by Snoo Wilson is a serious but comedic play, last produced in 1987 at the Bush Theatre. Wilson pays homage to the surreal and abstract - magic, creativity and sexual activity are shown to be capable of releasing immense energies that can rupture the structures of the status quo, opening up new possibilities |

"An outrageous mix of history, mythology, Christian doctrine and Shakespearean comedy, More Light is Snoo Wilson's surrealist foray into the tradition of Elizabethan drama. Giordano Bruno, Renaissance mathematician and astrologist, has been burnt at the stake for heresy against the Catholic Church but his ghost is haunting the dreams of the Pope. In British heaven, Bruno is protected under the jurisdiction of Queen Elizabeth I who reigns supreme, meets a now female Shakespeare who is in the midst of rewriting Love's Labour's Lost, and is seduced by a barmaid who just happens to be the daughter of the God of Wine. Can Bruno ever escape the clutches of the Pope trying to burn him alive again and find love in the arms of England's Virgin Queen?"--Publisher |
