Welcome to the Spectrum! A place where Life and Death enjoy playing chess, love is at crisis, addictions and madness take hold of the human body and mind, and shadows try to devour our true selves. But hope is 
also there, a flicker of light in the dusty corners of the stage. Will it finally come out?
After last year's performance of Our Town by Thorton Wilder, the English Department Drama Club brings to you It's All a Spectrum, a collection of one-act plays that explores themes such as love, death, desire, madness and sexual repression. Love and death might seem antithetical but there are moments when they are almost entwined, and this play is one of these moments.
We invite you to join us in our fragmented journey in the realm of love and death, and then maybe you will find your own place in the Spectrum.
