From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Angels in America comes this powerful portrayal of individual dissolution and resolution in the face of political catastrophe. "Tony Kushner's A BRIGHT ROOM CALLED DAY ... is unabashedly political, thought-provoking, a little scary, and frequently a good deal of theatrical fun ... BRIGHT ROOM is ... an examination of Nazi Germany in an attempt to shed insight on our own time. It's brash, audacious, and, depending on your politics, anything from infuriatingly naive to intoxicatingly visionary. In its 1932-33 span, it tells of a group of Berlin artists...

Tiny Kushner
ISBN: 9780881456271 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "As a title, TINY KUSHNER sounds like a joke, and it is, of sorts, a self-deprecating acknowledgment by the playwright Tony Kushner that he generally writes long. His most famous work, ANGELS IN AMERICA, began as a commission for a 90-minute play with three characters and ended up as a two-part extravaganza clocking in at more than seven hours ... The new work consists of five one-act playlets that feature both fictional characters and those borrowed from real life - including Dr Arnold Hutschnecker, who was Richard M Nixon's psychiatrist. Two plays have therapy sessions in them, actually....

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. -This is an odd assemblage of plays, for which gathering-together there is no overarching thematic justification. Because several of the plays deal with death, and one of the death-plays deals as well with money, and the last play deals with taxation, we're calling the book Death & Taxes. But all plays, directly or indirectly, are about death and taxes, so this title explains little...- -Tony Kushner
