A BRIGHT ROOM CALLED DAY
A BRIGHT ROOM CALLED DAY
A Bright Room Called Day ran Feb. 17-19, 2023 in the Emerson Studio Theater as part of the Sargent Conservatory season. From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Angels in America, this play is a powerful portrayal of individual dissolution and resolution in the face of political catastrophe. A Bright Room Called Day centers on a group of Berlin artists and the changes in their lives as Nazism rises in Germany. The audacious play urges us to contend with the present as it narrates a story set in the early 1930s.
