The Busy World is Hushed: September 12 – October 14, 2007
 

Theatre Review: Chicago Tribune
Finding comfort in a 'Busy World'
I like Bunin's play because it's willing to talk frankly about our need for comfort...you'll find ample food for thought here and more than a little succor.

Theatre Review: Chicago Free Press
If emotional anatomy were a course, Keith Bunin would be a full professor. Just as wonderful, Bunin’s effortless emotional accuracy is marvelously captured by Kimberley Senior’s flawlessly cast, powerfully orchestrated Chicago premiere, a Next Theatre triumph to treasure.

Theatre Review: Time Out Chicago
Bunin’s characters are nuanced, complicated people. And it’s a pleasure to hear intelligent debate about religion.

Theatre Review: Windy City Times
Consistently lively intelligence of the work; Peggy Roeder is rock-solid as Hannah.

Theatre Review: ChicagoCritic.com
Exquisite writing fuels this ‘thinking persons’ drama
A lush work filled complicated fully developed characters in layered relationships. Hellman and Grimes are two of the most talented young dramatic actors in Chicago and Peggy Roeder is a peerless Chicago veteran player.

Cruising my religion: Scribe Keith Bunin takes on faith at Next Theatre
. “You can’t teach morality in a vacuum,” Bunin says. “You need those metaphors that come from storytelling.”

Next takes leap of faith with ‘Hushed’
In this play about family and faith, [playwright] Bunin debates the existence of God, the veracity of the Gospels and how faith is a process full of questions.

Next's 'Hush' will get you talking
"Every time I've been an audience member at Next, I've left the theater talking," Senior says. "It's a provocative theater -- not necessarily shocking, but you leave there wanting to talk about the plays."
