What is A Bright Room Called Day about?
A Bright Room Called Day reworks the original play that follows a group of friends who witness the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis in 1930s Germany. The production is centered around actress Agnes who encounters an American woman, Zillah, infuriated by the horrors of the Reagan administration and the increase of authoritarianism in her country.
With themes of protest, passion and survival, audiences will be gripped by how easy it is for horrific authority figures to come in to power and ask, is it happening again?
Tickets for A Bright Room Called Day are now on sale.
