Details
A moving love story that spans decades in an instant—from marriage, children, skydiving, and the infinite moments that make a life together. Bright Half Life, a sixty-five minute chronicle of a deeply committed lesbian relationship, is contemporary as a play could be but the theme is classic and timeless. Legal gay marriage has occupied merely a nanosecond of our existence, but the presentation of the highs and lows of coupledom, as exampled in this piece, defy the ages.
Why you should see Bright Half Life. Playwright Tanya Barfield is a recipient of the Lilly Award, the Helen Merrill Award, and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for her play Blue Door. Other plays include The Call (Playwright’s Horizons, New York Times Critics Pick) and, of course, Bright Half Life (Women’s Project Theater, TimeOut Critic’s Pick).
