"I despaired that any playwright, no matter how skilled, could wrestle this teeming narrative about Buffalo's grand days at the turn of the last century into an effective script for the theater. I needn't have worried.

CITY OF LIGHT is a remarkable adaptation. Working closely with Belfer, Clarvoe has managed to condense the 500-plus-page book by focusing tightly on the theme of electricity and how the then-radically new technology spawned events that impinge on the life of Louisa Barrett, headmistress of the Macaulay School and quiet feminist who hobnobs with the great men of Buffalo."
