Trap Door Theatre proudly presents the world premiere of the English translation of No Darkness Round My Stone by French Playwright Fabrice Melquiot. A poet in spirit and practice, Melquiot's work is marked by noted lyricism and unpretentious accessibility. In No Darkness Round my Stone, Melquiot gives us a comedic and empathetic look at the everyday life of grave robbers. Mixing hyper-realism with surrealism, and banality with complexity, No Darkness Round My Stone examines the human desire to be different from what we are and the remarkable buoyancy of hope.
