Earning a Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award in 1993, subsequently adapted for television and opera, "Angels in America" stages American society of the Reagan years, mixing intimate stories and political events, realism and the fantastical while following the dark narrative thread of the AIDS epidemic. This was the disease that, in 1986, ended the life of Roy Cohn, an unscrupulous lawyer who was a disciple of McCarthy, a homophobe, racist, “bully, coward and victim” as described on the Washington Memorial Quilt. Kushner makes him one of the twenty-three characters – played by eight actors – of his Gay Fantasia on National Themes divided into two parts: "Millennium Approaches" and "Perestroika". The setting is New York between 1985 and 1990. The Republicans are in power, the Chernobyl catastrophe is imminent, the collapse of the Berlin Wall is about to overturn cold war politics and HIV, still synonymous with certain death, is reduced to the definition of homosexual cancer.

Один из величайших драматургов 20-го века Артур Миллер создал такие знаменитые произведения, как «Смерть коммивояжёра» и «Горнило», которые и сегодня продолжают волновать публику во всём мире. Он также попал в заголовки газет из-за того, что в разгар эры Маккарти его преследовал Комитет Палаты представителей по антиамериканской деятельности, и вступил в бурный брак с голливудской иконой Мэрилин Монро. Рассказанный с уникальной точки зрения его дочери, кинорежиссера Ребекки Миллер, «Артур Миллер: писатель» представляет собой яркий портрет, который сочетает в себе интервью, охватывающие десятилетия, и множество личных архивных материалов, и дает новое понимание жизни Миллера как художника и исследует его характер во всех его проявлениях. его сложность.

A fascinating and unlikely reinvention story, The Royal Road simultaneously explores cinematic spiritual channeling, the conquest and colonization of Mexico and the American Southwest, fading historical Californian urban landscapes, and the passions found in butch identity to achieve an achingly beautiful and poetic defense of remembering. Probing roads from El Camino Real, to the Boulevard of Broken Dreams, to the road right outside the front door, Olson crafts a deeply intelligent and transcending observation of the human condition that reaches for redemption in the embrace of history, nostalgia, mindfulness, and sheer beauty. If you give yourself over to it, it will crack you wide open.
