ABOUT
Hannah, a widowed Minister and Bible scholar, finds her faith at odds with that of Thomas, her gay and long estranged son. But when an inquisitive young writer, hired to assist Hannah with her latest book, learns painful secrets from Hannah's past, she spies a risky and unconventional opportunity for reconciliation.
Originally premiered at New York City’s Playwrights Horizons, and nominated for the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Play, The Busy World is Hushed examines – with wisdom, humour and insight – the contradictions we find in our faith, our families and ourselves…
Founder of Theatre503 and OffWestEnd Award winner, Paul Higgins, returns to the Finborough Theatre to direct.
