Dramatic Publishing Nabs Rights to Gabriel Jason Dean's QUALITIES OF STARLIGHT

Dramatic Publishing Company today announced its exclusive representation of the worldwide professional and amateur stage performance rights to QUALITIES OF STARLIGHT by exciting young American playwright Gabriel Jason Dean.

The play joins the Dramatic Publishing catalog alongside other great plays and musicals such as A CHRISTMAS STORY, THE MUSICAL; TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD; TWELVE ANGRY MEN; EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL; ALL AMERICAN; AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS; STRAIGHT; and 1984.

With a cast of four, QUALITIES OF STARLIGHT is an award-winning twisted comedy about the expansion of the universe and the contraction of a troubled family. Theo, a cosmologist, and his wife travel to the Appalachian South to visit his parents only to discover that Theo's aging parents are now meth addicts. Science crashes violently into nature, identities shift, memories speak, and the future can only be won by renegotiating the past. The cosmos is no more wondrous than a troubled human family improvising its path into the future.
