Description
At three o'clock in the morning, this is what I think. I think somebody killed him. They killed him, God, I don't know how I'm uttering these words ... they killed him because he's white and Western and they hated him. And it wasn't personal. Which somehow makes it worse.
>
Enlightenment is a powerful study of parental grief and of hope amidst uncertainty.
Published to tie-in with the world premier at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in March 2005.
