From its title, “Everything Is Illuminated” may seem like a lighthearted, inspirational story. And while it is at times, it’s much more than that, and it’s deeper, darker and all the more beautiful for it. Aurora Theatre Company’s “Everything is Illuminated” is a gorgeous and powerful play driven by a strong script.

Perhaps the curse of every play about morality is that the lesson learned at the end of the play seems too simple to really be impactful.

The players emerged from backstage donning purple velvet pants, gold vests, blond wigs and puffy white shirts, and the crowd was welcomed to the Globe Theatre in the year 1608.
