Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Playwright Tony Kushner is a voice of intellectualism, neo-socialism, gay activism and political outrage in an era when the political pendulum has swayed to the right. Through scalding humor, thought, and compassion, he explores political dynamics and the human condition in the modern era. In this book 11 scholars explore the works of Tony Kushner across his career.

Book News Annotation:

Playwright Tony Kushner, who wrote Angels in America, is the subject of this study, in which an international group of scholars in theater and English examine his works. The 12 essays, compiled by Fisher (theater, Wabash College), include comparisons to Tennessee Williams, William Inge, and Adrienne Kennedy, and studies of his adaptations of A Dybbuk and L'illusion comique; queer politics in Angels in America; media reactions to Homebody/Kabul; race and ethnicity in Caroline, or Change; and how his work is an extension of W.H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood's plays.
