…an “Angel” Gets its Wings
October 26th, 2010
Plays like the Glass Menagerie, Death of a Salesman, and Long Day’s Journey Into Night left indelible impressions on me, having been benchmarks in the literary education of my own and other generations for years. When I became a playwright I wondered what the “modern” equivalent would be.
Angels in America is having a revival in New York at the Signature Theatre, and a few other theatres around the country simultaneously. The Times and New York Magazine have run recent articles about the canonization of Kushner’s work.
And having read and see the HBO special, I can honestly say the lauding and praise are very well deserved.
What an amazing feeling it must be to know that millions of young people are studying your work and regarding it as part of the canon of American literature.
