A new play by Lisa Huberman,
Egyptology traces the lives of Cate and Sophie.  The former couple were raising a child together until Sophie left Cate, married Charles, and put severe limits on the interaction Cate can have with their daughter, Maddy.  Cate, an egyptologist, leaves for a research trip only to find that Sophie has used the opportunity to spirit Maddy away.  Cate and Charles must band together (with the acerbic Hatshepsut, Cate's hallucination/spiritual guide in tow) to find the missing child.

This production uses a large light box wall to help define the space, tying different colours to different locations, themes and characters throughout the work.  The lighting design seeks to balance the naturalism and everyday nature of the characters' struggles with capturing the magical realism of the character of Hatshepsut and Cate's inner voice.
