212-254-1109 "Bright Images" is a piercing rendition of
a woman going mad and her unexpected salvation. A brother tries to
save his sister Alicia's sight and sanity in rural America. It's
hopeless until a blind woman comes on the scene and what is envisioned
in her cloudy landscape softens the searing images that torment Alicia.
An unusual and compelling play. This play is part of the "Dream
Up Festival"; a theater festival that takes place at the Theater for
the New City (TNC) from August 8 to September 5, 2010.
