  • Tony Kushner's Angels in America Or How American History Spins Forward
    Tony Kushner’s Angels in America or How American History Spins Forward Alfonso Ceballos Muñoz Universidad de Cádiz [email protected] Abstract Angels in America’s roaring success represents a real turning point in mainstream American drama. This article explores both Kushner’s treatment of history— particularly American history—and the ingredients which compound the melting pot American society had become in the 1980s. Through the specific situations the characters undergo in both Millennium Approaches and Perestroika, the playwright exposes his own Brechtian and neo-Hegelian vision of current events. Kushner deliberately recycles traditional American myths and elements of American culture and pins them all on a reconstruction of identity—whether gender, racial, or political—as the real axes of his plays. By making gay characters lead the plays, and by including obvious religious elements from an apocalyptic literary style, political discussions on Reagan’s policy on AIDS, and reminiscent historical images, Angels in America becomes a revision of the new National Period America is living as the promised land which every single individual re-creates with her/his daily efforts and capabilities. “The people look skyward seeking aid from above, and the Angel of History appears on the horizon his eyes staring, mouth open and wings spread, while human catastrophes are hurled before his feet”. Walter Benjamin, “Theses on the Philosophy of History”. “History is a ribbon, always unfurling; history is a journey. And as we continue our journey, we think of those who travelled before us”. Ronald Reagan’s Second Inaugural Address. January 21, 1985 “We won’t die secret deaths anymore.

  • Geffen Playhouse Opens West Coast Premiere of Red Hot Patriot
    GEFFEN PLAYHOUSE OPENS WEST COAST PREMIERE OF RED HOT PATRIOT Kathleen Turner Stars in Feisty Molly Ivins Bioplay Directed by David Esbjornson LOS ANGELES, January 9, 2012 — The West Coast premiere of Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins opens at the Geffen Playhouse tonight with two-time Tony and Oscar nominee Kathleen Turner in the title role. Tuner sizzles as the brassy Texan reporter whose liberal journalism skyrocketed her to the national stage. From writing Elvis Presley’s New York Times obituary to becoming the most widely-read self-proclaimed “pain in the ass to whatever powers come to be,” Ivins – often described as a modern-day Mark Twain – made rabid fans and enemies alike with her sharp-tongued humor and unabashed political criticism. Ms. Turner is periodically joined on stage by a “helper,” played by Matthew Van Oss, who will be making his Geffen Playhouse debut. Written by twin sisters Margaret Engel and Allison Engel and helmed by acclaimed director and Geffen alum David Esbjornson (Neil Simon's Rose & Walsh and Bill Cain’s Equivocation), this acclaimed production captures the red-headed reporter’s indomitable character by weaving personal anecdotes with her colorful take on national politics. Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins had its world premiere at the Philadelphia Theatre Company, where Kathleen Turner originated the role. A subsequent production (featuring Barbara Chisholm) was produced by the ZACH Theatre in Austin. The Geffen Playhouse production marks the West Coast premiere. Opening night festivities, which are sponsored by Audi of America and Los Angeles magazine, will be held at Napa Valley Grille in Westwood Village.

    Cambridge University Press 0521542332 - The Cambridge Companion to Edward Albee Edited by Stephen Bottoms Frontmatter More information The Cambridge Companion to Edward Albee Edward Albee, perhaps best known for his acclaimed and infamous 1960s drama Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, is one of America’s greatest living play- wrights. Now in his seventies, he is still writing challenging, award-winning dramas. This collection of new essays on Albee, which includes contributions from the leading commentators on Albee’s work, brings fresh critical insights to bear by exploring the full scope of the playwright’s career, from his 1959 breakthrough with The Zoo Story to his most recent Broadway success, The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? (2002). The contributors include scholars of both theatre and English literature, and the essays thus consider the plays both as literary texts and as performed drama. The collection considers a num- ber of Albee’s lesser-known and neglected works, provides a comprehensive introduction and overview, and includes an exclusive, original interview with Mr. Albee, on topics spanning his whole career. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 0521542332 - The Cambridge Companion to Edward Albee Edited by Stephen Bottoms Frontmatter More information THE CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO EDWARD ALBEE EDITED BY STEPHEN BOTTOMS © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 0521542332 - The Cambridge Companion to Edward Albee Edited by Stephen Bottoms Frontmatter More information cambridge university press Cambridge, New York, Melbourne, Madrid, Cape Town, Singapore, Sao˜ Paulo Cambridge University Press The Edinburgh Building, Cambridge cb2 2ru,UK Published in the United States of America by Cambridge University Press, New York www.cambridge.org Information on this title: www.cambridge.org/9780521834551 C Cambridge University Press 2005 This book is in copyright.
