Recently Facing East was honored by the Association for Mormon Letters as the best play of 2007, “for its compassion, its even-handed wisdom and its tragic power.” “Facing East may well be the best thing Carol Lynn Pearson has ever written, at least for the stage” wrote Ivan M. Lincoln in the Deseret Morning News. “It raises plenty of questions and concerns but doesn't offer any pat answers.” “What the play does well is offer a respectful portrait of Mormons in struggle,” wrote Ellen Fagg in the Salt Lake Tribune. Fagg calls Pearson's new play “a tightly wound domestic tragedy that raises questions about faith and sexuality. ” To buy a copy of the playbook, read reviews, and learn more about Pearson's new book No More Goodbyes, visit www.nomoregoodbyes.com. |
