Canadian Greg Light wrote to Tom Stoppard recently demonstrating some of the images that could be conceived from the titles of their latest plays—Stoppard’s Night and Day and Light’s Black to Black. Light expressed his disappointment that Stoppard’s name was inappropriate to the homogeneous relationship of the five words ‘night’, ‘black’, ‘black’, ‘day’, ‘light’. Light takes his words seriously and Stoppard is a master of the English language. But they have a further tenuous, although more fortunate, connection. Twelve or 13 years ago Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead was ‘discovered’ at the Edinburgh Festival. At last year’s Festival, Canadian poet/playwright/actor Greg Light’s Black to Black won a ‘Fringe First Award’, one of only 13 such awards in a field of 200 theatre performers.
