Mar. 31 - Apr. 09, 2016
Thursdays-Sundays
Erica meets Vicki. Vicki marries Erica. Lives collide. Rewind. Pause. Fast forward.
Following on the heels of last year's award-winning COCK (BEST DRAMA, BEST DIRECTOR -Austin Critics Table Award; BEST CAST -B Iden Payne Awards), Theatre en Bloc is proud to present a non-linear love story: Tanya Bartlett's BRIGHT HALF LIFE in the intimate, cozy Pony Shed at the Vortex Theatre. Only 15 seats per night.
Vicki meets Erica. Lives collide. Pause. Fast forward. Rewind. This moving love story spans decades in an instance from marriage, children, skydiving, and the infinite moments that make a life together. The enchanting kaleidoscopic format and fast-paced dialogue will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout this "romantic, exquisite" love story.
A HALF-LIFE is the length of time it takes for a certain quantity of matter to decay by half. This process can reiterate infinitely, always reducing by half of what was there a half-life ago,. However, a speck of the substance remains.
Tanya Barfield's play takes a candid look at the bravery it takes to sign onto life with another person.
This is a night of theatre you won't want to miss.
Starring | KRYSTA GONZALES & MARINA DEYOE-PEDRAZA
Direction | JENNY LAVERY
