LIGHTBREAKERS

Ina Barrón, Jay Myers, and Mirai perform the story of a quantum physicist; his wife, an artist; and the dangerous nature of memory. When Noah, portrayed by Myers, is hired to work for the Janus Project, he soon discovers that a paper he wrote in college has opened the door to time-travel research and the opportunity to see his late daughter again. As his second wife, Maya, portrayed by Barrón, navigates her new life as an artist, she too is forced to confront a past she thought was long behind her. Mirai's restrained delivery as Noah's ex-wife, Eileen, beautifully embraces the complicated nature of grief. Soulful performances capture the emotions of a story that focuses on the past, present, and future simultaneously. V.B. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2025]
