A Bright Room Called Day
By Tony Kushner

Kushner's imaginatively poetic, invigoratingly intelligent, and often hysterically funny play sets out to polarize its audience as it shifts between time periods and between reality and fantasy. A Bright Room Called Day is the haunting story of a group of artists struggling to preserve themselves in 1930s Berlin as the Weimar Republic falls to its knees before the seduction of fascism. The play transcends historical drama as we witness the outpourings of a contemporary New York woman living in Berlin in the 1990's who is morally outraged at the U.S. Government, its presidential system, and what she sees as blatant fascist tendencies. The play challenges us as it grapples with the inevitability and irresistibility of evil. It held particular relevance to the pending presidential election at the time, which would indeed prove to be a pivotal election for our country. Kushner's script has been called "brash, audacious and…intoxicatingly visionary" by Chicago Tribune's Sid Smith.
