A Bright Room Called Day
by Tony Kushner
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Angels in America comes this powerful portrayal of individual dissolution and resolution in the face of political catastrophe. In 1930s Berlin, a group of left-leaning friends struggle to understand the world around them as Hitler rises to power. These events are contrasted with a parallel presentation of events in America in the 1980's by a modern day activist, Zillah, who insists on taking action to fight repression and authoritarianism.
A Bright Room Called Day performs July 22 through July 30, 2011.
