A Bright Room Called Day

By Tony Kushner
Directed By Rahaleh Nassri
April 22- May 21, 2006

“Kushner being Kushner — that is, burning with ideological fire, thoroughly grounded in history and theory, and preposterously gifted with literary agility — that wild swing of a thesis gains surprising traction onstage… Rorschach Theatre is the right company to embrace the overstatement, and director Rahaleh Nassri’s production is tough-minded and, in its way, beautiful.”
–Washington Post

Set in the last days of Germany’s Weimar Republic, Kushner’s first published play follows a group of artists and activists as they watch their country gradually descend into the Third Reich. By turns both magical and rhetorical, Bright Room charts the ascension of the Nazi Party through the seemingly-insulated life in middle-class living rooms.
