Some Light Undergroun' is about life after the 2120’s Oil and Water Wars. Rayann’s surrogate family live in a fortified basement in Winnipeg’s North End. Surviving under the government’s radar, these urban insurgents struggle through the details of love, friendship and discipline.
Playwright Lisa Martens was a member of a peace team for 4 years. She now works with recent newcomers to Canada. Martens wrote Some Light Undergroun' to explore themes of peace, violence and community living, and to imagine a possible version of Winnipeg after "peak oil".
