Bright Half Life is a stunningly human and humorous depiction of a life in love. In Tanya Barfield’s nonlinear, intimate play, Vicky and Erica navigate the peripatetic present through a lifetime of courtship and marriage, kids and parents, death and divorce, Ferris wheels and skydiving, in a moving story that spans decades in an instant.

“Romantic! Virtuosic! For sheer loveliness, you won’t surpass Tanya Barfield’s exquisite BRIGHT HALF LIFE.”
—Time Out New York

“Profound—a well-written, engaging portrayal of smart women finding themselves, and each other.”
—The New Yorker

“Shows the volatility in a long-term partnership, the joy and desolation, the hurt and help—all intermingled, all at once.”
—The New York Times

Immediately following the performance, stay for a thought-provoking and fun discussion with the artists of Bright Half Life and enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour of the design elements that went into creating the show with COF’s resident set designer Joe Lavigne.
