Lightning

Conceived and Directed by Jeremy Louise Eaton.

Lightning

Director’s Note

“Lightning was conceived and created out of life experiences that evade articulation. So writing a director’s note feels paradoxical and confused. In lieu of an articulation of words, I offer a raised glass: here’s to the moments where we briefly know what felt unknowable. Here’s to the moment right before the thing is named. And here is to you, our audience, and your own vast internal known yet unknowable selves.”

— Jeremy Louise Eaton

Song lyrics from the poetry of Emily Dickinson.

Special thanks to the Double Edge Ensemble for dramaturgical development, Stacy Klein for directing mentorship, and Richard Newman for text development.

We are in the process of updating the content and design of our website! You may notice some inconsistencies as you browse, and we appreciate your patience. If you have trouble finding something, please let us know.


Double Edge resides on the ancestral homelands of the Nipmuc, Pocumtuck, and the Wabanaki Confederacy. We acknowledge and recognize the Indigenous Peoples who reside here and those who have lived, cultivated, and travelled on these lands for millennia. Their presence must be named after having been invisibilized for hundreds of years.

We also name and honor Susannah Honesty and Heber Honestman, two formerly enslaved people who were the original founders of Huntstown, now called Ashfield.

On the platform of Art Justice, we build equity and solidarity with deliberation and intentionality. This commitment includes the artists with whom we collaborate; the neighbors with whom we trade or work; our residency and training participants; and the consultants who helped to guide us. The mission / values / vision / work of Double Edge will always reflect the larger population of our region / our state / our country. Our people, our Ensemble, our collaborators identify themselves rather than being defined by others. Double Edge protects the silence of our internal space, while simultaneously ensuring that no one is silenced
