Saw Tony Kushner speak tonight at UNCG. Intelligent. Articulate. Outstanding.
Of the two hours, 90 minutes were spent discussing current events, especially the election and gay rights. He spoke a lot about comparing Obama to Lincoln.
In fact, he discussed Lincoln a LOT since he is currently writing the screenplay for an upcoming biopic directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Liam Neeson and Sally Field.
He also mentioned his upcoming play, which was a REALLY long title. Does anyone know it? Something like "the best homosexual....."?
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

That's it! Thanks!
I'm not sure if casting has been announced, but he named a bunch of great talent involved. Hope I get to see the show!
