Written by LDS author Carol Lynn Pearson, Facing East explores how the suicide of a gay young man affects his LDS family. 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. ”
