We just wait. Old light. And new light. We just wait. For each other, patiently wait. Patient Light follows a day in the life of a young person in Peterborough and how their vision of the future is blinded by carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. It concerns the everyday, mundane things that we carry in our head and rarely, if ever, say out loud. Presented as a stream of consciousness, the play examines our need for aspiration, and how to use the world's frustrations to your advantage. This edition was published to coincide with the production by Eastern Angels in October 2021.

A stream of consciousness play that concerns the mundane, every day aspects of the life of a young person growing up in Peterborough and how they find methods to cope.
