THE BUSY WORLD IS HUSHED

Hannah is a widowed Episcopal minister. Brandt is the young literary assistant she hires to help her translate a long-lost gospel. Thomas is her prodigal gay son, who spends his life trying to distance himself from his mother and anyone who might love him. These three characters form the complex and humorous triangle at the heart of this play about faith and family. This excellent audio presentation is the result of the high-level performances delivered by Jill Clayburgh, Hamish Linklater, and Luke MacFarlane. Since they were the original off-Broadway cast, they easily bring dramatic and dynamic range to their characters. Included is an exclusive author interview that provides great insights.
