Tony Kushner is an American playwright of great distinction. One of his most provocative works is a two part controversial study of homosexuality through the effects of society on homosexuals. Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia On National Themes is composed of many scenes throughout the lives of memorable characters as they discover themselves and the horrors and beauties of humanity entangled in their lives not because of what they are but because they are.
Most of Tony Kushner's work is characterized by a departure from realism incorporating spectacular displays of fantasy and vivid ideas through the use of carefully placed moments of action and reaction. This style of his acts as a way to capture and hold the audience to attention in order to open their minds to social and political problems in our world today. In this way Tony Kushner is a very influential voice of America's modern fears and sorrows of homosexuality but most importantly a pledge to the incredible ability of words.
