About Bright Half Life
What if life came with a rewind button? Pulitzer Prize finalist Tanya Barfield brings the world a kaleidoscopic new play about love, heartbreak, skydiving and the infinite moments that make a relationship. Bright Half Life shares the four-and-a-half-decade story of Vicky and Erica, who meet, fall in love, and go through all the trials and tribulations of marriage and building a family. Pause. Rewind. Fast forward. And hold on to “A Well-Written, Engaging Portrayal Of Smart Women Finding Themselves And Each Other” (The New Yorker).
In the Words of the Theatre
“Bright Half Life is extraordinarily ambitious in its scope. It tells the story of over four decades in the relationship between two women charting their path through courtship, marriage, parenthood and beyond. But what really stands out is that the play is structured like the half life of an atom, with scenes existing out of the linear sequence of time, and each exploring a different ‘collision’ between these two beautiful souls.
“We experience this relationship as a series of exquisite glimpses, with moments of intimacy colliding with moments of distance, joy colliding with pain, and the freshness of new love colliding with the depth and complexity of a relationship grown over time. Bright Half Life is a theatrical love letter to the way that love and time entwine that shows how tiny moments accumulate into a rich and full life.”
-Theatrical Outfit’s Artistic Director Matt Torney
