A BRIGHT ROOM CALLED DAY
is Tony Kushner's first full length play. The story opens in Berlin on New Year's Eve 1932. A group of artists and Communists throw a party to celebrate the night, unaware of the political changes to come. As German succumbs to Nazism they must ask themselves what they are prepared to sacrifice for a normal life. Shocking and provocative, the play caused a sensation when first performed, dividing critics and audiences alike.
