Legacy of Light
by Karen Zacarias

"This is a work with its heart in the right place, one in which the comic machinations emanate from a source of bona fide light."

— Washington Post

"Zacarías has written this entertaining play with a shrewd eye for the economies and interests of today’s theater. It is a flight of fancy with a relevant component, containing expansive roles that will be popular with performers. Women, especially, will admire the strength, intellectual depth and human qualities of the play’s female characters."

— Variety

"Legacy of Light is an intellectual joyride from start to finish that confronts a universal question: How do women balance a passionate yearning for science with maternal instinct?"

— DC Theater Scene

"If Karen Zacarías’ new play Legacy of Light is any indication of where playwriting is headed, then pop the champagne—we have a lot to celebrate."

— Stark Insider

"Legacy of Light, a quirky look at fulfillment and discovery, is full of charm... the story takes on a fable-like quality. And Zacarías raises deep questions: motherhood vs. career, leaving the world with a meaningful legacy and the nature of immortality."
