Far From Heaven at SpeakEasy Stage Company

Cathy Whitaker seems to be the picture-perfect wife and mother in 1957 suburban Connecticut. But roiling beneath the surface, secret longings and forbidden desires cause her world to unravel, with incendiary consequences. With a book by Richard Greenberg, lyrics by Michael Korie and a lush score by Scott Frankel that is both jazz-inflected and hauntingly lyrical, FAR FROM HEAVEN is a powerful story of romance, betrayal, and intolerance, as a woman grapples with her identity in a society on the verge of upheaval. Running time: 2 hours 15 minutes, including one intermission

Book by Richard Greenberg; Music by Scott Frankel; Lyrics by Michael Korie; Based on the Focus Features/Vulcan Productions motion picture written & directed by TODD HAYNES
