Tony Kushner Pořadí knih

Gus Marcantonio, a retired longshoreman, summons his adult children home to the family's Brooklyn brownstone to discuss his recent decision to commit suicide. With his trademark mix of soaring intellect, searing emotion, and biting wit, legendary playwright Tony Kushner unfurls an epic tale of revolution, radicalism, family, love, sex, politics, real estate, unions and debts both unpaid and unpayable. With sweeping themes as hefty as its title, "IHo" (as it has been nicknamed) explores the dense and vexing issues that stem from the betrayal of a failed ideology and the challenges of family connectedness. This cerebral mammoth of a play asks what is left when the long-held belief systems that construct and inform one's identity prove to be empty.

"ANGELS IN AMERICA has proved to be a watershed drama, the most lyrical and ambitious augury of an era since Tennessee Williams's The Glass Menagerie." John Lahr, The New Yorker "The most influential American play of the last two decades." Patrick Healy, The New York Times "Daring and dazzling! The most ambitious American play of our time: an epic that ranges from earth to heaven; focuses on politics, sex and religion; transports us to Washington, the Kremlin, the South Bronx, Salt Lake City and Antarctica; deals with Jews, Mormons, WASPs, blacks; switches between realism and fantasy, from the tragedy of AIDS to the camp comedy of drag queens to the death or at least absconding of God." Jack Kroll, Newsweek "The greatest American play of the waning years of the twentieth century." Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

Dětskou operu Brundibár napsali hudební skladatel Hans Krása a spisovatel Adolf Hoffmeister v roce 1938. V Praze se představení hrálo pouze dvakrát a navíc tajně, protože kulturní činnost byla už v té době Židům zakázaná. Operu se následně podařilo nazkoušet v Terezíně, kde se od roku 1943 do podzimu 1944 odehrálo asi 55 repríz. V roce 2003 vyšel Brundibár v převyprávění Tonyho Kushnera s ilustracemi oceňovaného tvůrce knih pro děti Maurice Sendaka, který byl právě na ni ze své tvorby nejvíc hrdý.
