Unlikely - In a Building with a Broken Lift

In a flooded world, Ray’s boat crashes into a lighthouse. Stranded with Ava, the strange lighthouse keeper, he waits for help to arrive. However, something is terribly wrong. Ava and Ray are haunted by something more than guilt and regret. Something that walks the lighthouse, wishing they would stay. Quiet Light explores the lives of lonely people seeking refuge in the ocean from their warped memories. The ghosts they see are not real – but if they look real, and feel real, then what does it matter?

Quiet Light by Erin Hutton

Renowned artist Rory McGrory wakes up trapped in a mysterious art gallery surrounded by empty
canvas’s. No art. No answers. And no way out—until he’s greeted by his ex-wife Pippa, who also
happens to be dead.

She’s determined to convince him that he is, too—and that the artless frames are, in fact, his life’s retrospective. But why can’t he see his own work? As Rory ricochets between denial and acceptance, he’s forced to confront his unresolved past and the emotional toll of a life half-seen. Is this strange afterlife gallery a purgatory—or his final chance to see his life clearly?

“Retrospective” at the Barons Court Theatre marks the UK premiere of the play following its world
premiere at the 2025 Broadway Bound Theatre Festival in New York.
