"Red Light Winter" by Pulitzer Prize finalist Adam Rapp is an unflinching exploration of desire, intimacy, and the fragility of human connection. The story begins with two friends - Matt, a struggling writer, and Davis, a charismatic ladies’ man - who escapes to Amsterdam for a night of hedonistic adventure. There they meet Christina, a young woman whose presence shifts the balance of their friendship and ignites a triangle of passion, betrayal, and longing. What begins as a fleeting encounter in a red-light district hotel spirals into a meditation on loneliness, obsession, and the lingering power of memory. Bold, provocative, and heartbreakingly human, "Red Light Winter" asks: what do we risk in pursuit of love? Strong Adult and Sexual Content.
