Aprašymas

The Theater of Tony Kushner is a comprehensive portrait of the life and work of one of America's most important contemporary playwrights. Kushner established himself as a preeminent figure in American theater with his towering two-play epic, Angels in America, in the early 1990's and continues to raise complicated and frightening questions about morality, politics, and sexuality in his most recent play Homebody/Kabul, a prescient meditation on Afghanistan that debuted only a few months after September 11.

In this sweeping chronicle of the Pulitzer prize-winning playwright, theater scholar James Fisher examines these works alongside all of Kushner's full-length, one-act, and adapted works to illuminate his progressive politics, his techniques and themes, and his place in American and international drama. This book is an essential introduction to Kushner's oeuvre for anyone with an interest in contemporary theater, and a trove of scintillating insights and anecdotes for Kushner's many fans.
