The Dark Is Light Enough

The Dark Is Light Enough is a 1954 verse play by Christopher Fry, which he wrote for Dame Edith Evans and set during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848.

[1][2] It is formally a comedy, but Fry subtitled the play 'A Winter Comedy' to signal its tragic qualities.

The play, directed by Peter Brook, premiered at the Aldwych Theatre in London, UK, in May 1954.
