Often exquisitely lyrical, always exhilaratingly intelligent, the poetic world of the play moves beyond the bounds of historical reality with the morally outraged outpourings of a contemporary New York woman. Her fury at the Reagan and Bush presidencies brings into stark relief the discomfiting similarities between then and now, and challenges us to remember that although evil may seem inevitable, it is never irresistible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTony Kushner\u003c\/b\u003e's plays include \u003ci\u003eAngels in America\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eHydriotaphia, or the Death of Dr. Brown\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Illusion\u003c\/i\u003e, adapted from the play by Pierre Cornelle; \u003ci\u003eSlavs!\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eA Bright Room Called Day\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eHomebody\/Kabul\u003c\/i\u003e;\u003ci\u003e Caroline, or Change\u003c\/i\u003e, a musical with composer Jeanine Tesori; and \u003ci\u003eThe Intelligent Homosexual's Guide to Capitalism and Socialism with a Key to the Scriptures\u003c\/i\u003e.
