Synopsis

"It's totally familiar but dreamlike at the same time," observes one American of Amsterdam's notorious Red Light District in this stunning work from Adam Rapp, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.

Escaping their lives in Manhattan, former college buddies Matt and Davis take off to the Netherlands and find themselves thrown into a bizarre love triangle with a beautiful young prostitute named Christina. But the romance they find in Europe is eventually overshadowed by the truth they discover at home.

Written with an unflinching poetic beauty, Red Light Winter is a play of sexual intrigue that explores the myriad and misguided ways we seek to fill the empty spaces inside us.
