There is a tradition, in the theatre, of never leaving a space entirely dark. For the most part, it is done for practical reasons: there are many dangers in a light-less theatre, from falling into the orchestra pit, to taking your shins out on the set. It is helpful to be able to navigate the space safely, but also to be able to find the controls for the house lights.
Of course, theatres are places where stories are told, both on stage and off it, and small wonder then, that most of them have at least one ghost, and some say the space must stay lit to appease these spectral residents and not incur their wrath.
But the ghost light, at heart, is also a promise: that we will return. That the lights will come back on, the music will swell, the costumes will ruffle and the rafters will rattle once more with life.
And so, after a fashion, is this volume.
During the Covid-19 lockdowns, The Superstars and Friends donated their artwork and writing to create this free eBook for anyone who needed a bit of a distraction from everything. This is the 6th anthology by The Superstars.
Co-curated by Lauren K. Nixon and G. Burton.
