In the Cold Light

About the show

The gravestones of two friends pull a journalist into an investigation he hopes will bury the past. Instead, it unearths the harsh reality of staying silent, confronting him with the one story he refused to tell.
Scottish playwright George Grant returns with this powerful meditation on grief. Performing for the first time at The Watford Pumphouse, In the Cold Light is a sharp, intimate and quietly devastating exploration of how we mourn - and what we leave unsaid.
George Grant is a promising young Scottish Writer embarking on another year of discovery, follow a debut performance season in 2025 that brought 5 star reviews and a nomination for best Scottish Theatre production at the Edinburgh Fringe.
