The Busy World is Hushed
Professional West Coast Premiere
by Keith Bunin
directed by Robin Stanton
June 13, 2008 - July 20, 2008
show length: 2 hours, 15 minutes
Episcopalian minister and bible scholar Hannah contracts a ghostwriter to help her pen a book about a newly discovered gospel. As they set to work putting her thoughts into print, her troubled gay son, fresh from his latest attempt to find himself, wanders back into her life. When family secrets are revealed, only the intercession of a stranger can help make peace.
Hailed as “poignant and real” by Variety and “intriguing . . . engaging” by The New York Times, The Busy World is Hushed is a thought-provoking, moving look at religion, faith, and the complexities of the human heart. Robin Stanton, who directed Aurora Theatre Company’s astonishing production of Permanent Collection, directs this stirring examination of the contradictions we find in our families and ourselves.
"An engaging and often thought-provoking affair." - San Francisco Chronicle
"This captivating production provides a stunning evening of excellent drama." - KGO Radio
