Island City Stage’s “Light Switch” is Luminous

By Rick Karlin for OUTSFL

I have often been impressed by the quality of the work done at Island City Stage, but nothing prepared me for a production like this. “Light Switch” could be picked up, as is, placed on a Broadway stage, and would sweep the Tony Awards. Yes, it’s that good.

A synopsis of the plot, the story of Henry, an autistic gay man with a passion for 19th-century British literature, and his quest for love and acceptance over the course of 20 years, does not prepare you for the depth of this character study. Dave Osmunsen, the playwright, is gay and autistic, so his script feels true and heartfelt.
