"Disconnection"

Inside the World of Cults: Skylight Theatre Company Presents New Drama "Disconnection"

Experience the hidden world of modern-day cults in acclaimed playwright Allen Barton's provocative new work "Disconnection". A successful lawyer, his piano teacher and his estranged daughter find themselves having to face the dark side of their devout dedication to a church whose aged and now regretful founder begins to reveal its true origins and insidious practices. Skylight Theatre Company's resident playwright, Allen Barton, takes contemporary religions to task for intruding into private relationships in this drama, dubbed a "can't miss" by "Backstage". Barton's drawn comparisons to George Bernard Shaw, David Mamet, Edward Albee and Bret Easton Ellis for his previous hit "Years to the Day", which was named "LA Weekly"'s Top Play of 2013, and went on to be performed in New York, Paris and Edinburgh.
