Seven Minutes in Heaven (play)

Seven Minutes in Heaven is a play by Steven Levenson "that follows six high school freshman caught in the absurd, aching, terrible ecstasy of being young on a splintered night of dysfunctional party games, fumbling first kisses, ruined reputations, broken promises, and raw, raw fun." [1] The play was first produced in 2009 in a workshop at Ars Nova, then at the Huntington Theater in Boston in May 2010 and at HERE Arts Center in New York City in June 2010.[1] It was selected by The New York Times and Time Out New York as a "Critic's Pick".[2]

Synopsis

Six teens gather on a Friday night[3] to hang out, and perhaps find romance. The New York Times review described the stage play as "so real that you almost believe it was written by one of its characters," a clever presentation of the awkward teenage years.[4]

Reviews
gollark: ICBM might cause problems if everyone can get infinite antimatter missiles.
gollark: I also have this picture apparently.
gollark: The progression is weird in survival, but it's neat to have still.
gollark: Here's the collaborative asteroid base, which evolved into a horrible mess which somehow still held in air.
gollark: Yes, and 1.13 and up apparently had performance problems on servers, though I don't know how true that is.
