The writer, Tony Kushner, won a Pulitzer Prize in 1993 for the play that has been described as the most influential play of the last 25 years.
Set in 1985 in Manhattan, in the age of Reagan and at the onset of the AIDS epidemic, Kushner’s play faces head on the central crises of American culture. Political, religious and social conflicts underpin a story with characters whose personal crises of love and abandonment interconnect with larger societal questions.
