The Lovely Dark

The Lovely Dark is a fiction podcast about how darkness in our lives may reveal a path to love and light.

Each of these short audio plays is written by an award-winning writer and performed by a cast of remarkable actors, including Oscar winners and members of New York City’s Labyrinth Theater Company. Each episode is produced with a full cast, a beautiful immersive soundscape and an original score.

In the dark, we can see lights that were hidden before. We may see a way forward or come upon a threshold that we must cross. Maybe we get an ugly view of ourselves and resolve to change, or we might discover a capacity for love or forgiveness that in the full light of day we could never have imagined.
