OHMYGOD HEY! It’s MickeyJoTheatre!
I was recently invited to see THE BRIGHTENING AIR at the Old Vic Theatre in London, the new play from Conor McPherson (The Weir, Girl from the North Country).
The play, which feels in many ways inspired by Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya, is set in 1980s Ireland and depicts an uncomfortable family reunion during which discussions of faith and the mundanity of life give way to startling revelations.
The cast for the production includes Chris O’Dowd and Rosie Sheehy.
Check out this full review for my thoughts on the characters, themes, and McPherson’s dual role as playwright and director…
