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:
“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…”
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.”

“Xochi is dealing with a lot: a difficult pregnancy, a new relationship, a family that can't stand her and the loss of her twin brother Sebastian, who was declared missing last year. As she tries to navigate her life (and keep her sanity), the impossible happens: Sebastian reappears. Her family is overjoyed, but Xochi is suspicious: where has he been? And why does this version of Sebastian seem so different than the one she knew? BOTH is an eerie examination of family, love, memory and which version of the truth is the one worth believing.”
