Overview

A slam-bang series of five plays providing kaleidoscopic windows into the recesses of the artist's fertile mind. . . . Tiny Kushner exists in its own imaginative realm, engaged in the process of working out the American experience without approval or condemnation. -- Variety Kushner's eclectic, wicked wit makes for a great deal of charm and excitement. . . . Hefty political and moral issues dance with buoyant shtick. . . . Penetrating comedy and theatrical strokes light up the stage. -- San Francisco Chronicle Described as a thinking person's comedy ( The New York Times ), Tiny Kushner is a series of five short works from one of the most important voices in the American theater. Best known for his Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning seven-hour epic Angels in America, Tony Kushner shows audiences his talent for brevity with this collection of works, which recently co-premiered at Berkeley Repertory Theatre and the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis. The pieces include no fewer than two therapy sessions (one with Richard Nixon's shrink), a trip to the moon, Queen Geraldine of Albania, tax-evading New York City cops, and Laura Bush reading Dostoyevsky to a class of dead Iraqi schoolchildren--to give you a taste. Includes: Flip Flop Fly! ; Terminating or Sonnet LXXV or Lass Meine Schmerzen Nicht Verloren Sein or Ambivalence ; East Coast Ode to Howard Jarvis: a little teleplay in tiny monologues ; Dr. Arnold A. Hutschnecker in Paradise ; and Only We Who Guard the Mystery Shall Be Unhappy. Tony Kushner's plays include A Bright Room Called Day ; Angels in America, Parts One and Two ; Slavs! ; Homebody/Kabul ; and the book and lyrics for Caroline, or Change. His many honors include the Pulitzer Prize, two Tony Awards for Best Play, and three OBIE Awards for Playwriting.
