The Colour of Light is a musical about mothers, daughters, Muses and the passing on of lessons learned.

When Iris was born, Ione was determined that her daughter’s life would be better, easier and less painful than her own.

But as Iris hits her teenage years and as she begins to make her own mistakes, will she listen to the echoes of lives gone before that her mother and the Muses are desperate for her to hear?

With original music and remarkable lyrics by singer-songwriter Anne Taft, The Colour of Light reflects on wisdom acquired during motherhood’s many stages and the lessons learned along the way.
