A Bright Room Called Day
by Tony
Kushner
“This
age wanted heroes. It got us instead.”
Berlin.
1932. A group of young communists throw a decadent party to celebrate the
coming New Year. But as the country succumbs to the seduction of Nazism the
friends are forced to choose between integrity and survival.
Shocking and provocative, the play caused a
sensation when it was first performed. From Pulitzer-prize winning playwright
Tony Kushner, A Bright Room Called Day examines the darkest reaches of
the human heart.
‘Brash,
audacious, intoxicatingly visionary." - Chicago Tribune
