ENOUGH TO LET THE LIGHT IN 🚪
“Girlfriends Marc and Cynthia spend the night celebrating a milestone, but it quickly devolves into chaos as buried secrets are revealed and lives are irrevocably changed. Enough to Let the Light In is a mind-bending psychological thriller about love, truth, and the ghosts that won't let us go.”

Praise from Broadway World:
“With her play Enough to Let the Light In, Paloma Nozicka has crafted one of those great psychological thrillers; the build-up is slow but steady, the characters finely drawn, and the climax will make you jump. But there’s no need for blood, it’s all in your head. And if you are looking for an evening that gives you a few of those none-too-subtle psychological shocks, this year’s Contemporary American Theater Festival has just the ticket…”
Praise from the Chicago Reader:
“Enough to Let the Light In gives a thriller twist to a couple’s secrets…For readers of Toni Morrison, there are distinct echoes of Beloved…the show prompts reflection on what it means to accept someone’s whole self when you love them.”
Praise from New City Stage:
“You’ve heard of a rom-com but have you heard of a rom-thrill? Thromantic? Whatever we want to name the new genre, “Enough to Let the Light In” can set the precedent.”
Praise from Chicago Stage and Screen:
“To say that Nozicka’s play only excels at horror, however, would be selling it massively short. The play achieves something that many writers have tried and failed at. It makes the horror meaningful.”
