Manhattan Repertory Theatre, in association with DeVida Jenkins on behalf
of the Villar-Hauser Theatre Development Fund present:
The Brightness of Heaven by Laura Pedersen
Heaven is billed as being a magnificent place. However, entrance to Heaven is conditional upon having lived a “good life.” But what happens when so much emphasis is placed on the afterlife that the current one becomes a prison, and young people start to feel that their choices are being limited by parents wielding a rulebook that came from a supernatural source. The Kilgannon family struggles to stay together as their views on how to conduct their lives diverge. Is it worth destroying your closest relationships over something you can’t even be sure of?
