"Hi, this is Brightline. You’re through to someone you can talk to".
As sea levels rise, cityscapes crumble, and all hope for the future is lost, four volunteers spend their Tuesday nights on the end of a helpline telling strangers that everything is going to be okay. As their own lives and their rotting office slowly fall apart, the attempts at a glass-half-full attitude are pushed to their limits in this touching and hilarious play about optimism and community. Is it really better to light a candle than to curse the darkness?
