The title taken from a prayer by St. John Henry Newman from his Seasonal Sermons, Keith Bunin's "The Busy World Is Hushed" is escribed as "a three-character odyssey into faith, love, and doubt. There are no easy answers as everyone searches for a safe place to land and find peace at the last."
O Lord support us all the day long of this troublous life, until the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then, Lord, in thy mercy, grant us a safe lodging, a holy rest, and peace at the last. Amen. (Sermons Bearing on the Subjects of the Day, 20).
Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles in February of 2007.
