Synopsis

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.
