Synopsis

A funny and fascinating tribute to the European immigrants who became major players in Hollywood's Golden Age, from award-winning dramatist Nicholas Wright.

Set in 1900 in the shtetls of Eastern Europe, and 1940s Hollywood, Travelling Light is a delightful comedy-drama about revolutionary storytelling and the cost of fulfilling one's dreams, fresh from its premiere at The National Theatre.
