All About “Skylight”
Kyra as the protagonist of the play, is a harassed school teacher residing in a very cold London apartment. One night, Kyra gets an unexpected visit from her Ex-lover’s son named Edward Sergeant.
Edward asks about where she went three years ago while she was still with the Family. All of a sudden, Edward’s father,Tom (Kyra’s Ex Lover), who is a very attractive widowed man shows up.
As they both sit down at a table served with a home-cooked dinner, they eventually reminisce the past and realized what has really changed between them.
The play tells about a story of two ex-lovers whose paths have crossed surprisingly.
