A Listening Heaven is a play for six actors written by the English dramatist Torben Betts.
It is a domestic tragedy (written in the mid 1990s) centring on the suicide of a young eco-warrior and the inability of his rather conservative, emotionally repressed family to cope with his death.
The play was initially championed by Alan Ayckbourn who then invited Betts to become writer-in-residence at his theatre in Scarborough (the Stephen Joseph Theatre) in 1999. It was produced there that summer to some acclaim. It received its second production at the Edinburgh Royal Lyceum, where it was nominated as Best New Play for the TMA Awards, 2001. Morag Hood, in her final stage performance, was nominated for Best Actress.
The play has since been translated into French, German and Finnish and produced throughout Europe.
