Wrestling With Angels: Playwright Tony Kushner, Opens in LA 11/3
Wrestling
With Angels: Playwright Tony Kushner is a feature documentary film about the
Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning playwright Tony Kushner (Angels in America,
Caroline or
Change, Homebody/Kabul, Munich). It tells the story of a relentlessly
creative spirit at work and
of how Kushner, raised in the Deep South, would become an outspoken activist,
a compassionate spokesperson for outsiders, and one of Americaâs most important
playwrights. At its core the film explores the mystery of creativity,
its sources and Kushnerâs compelling plays that are set against the moral
and political concerns of our times. While it focuses on Kushner as an
artist and activist, the film also captures the poignant story of a
father and son relationship. Finally, it is the inspiring tale of how a
passionately committed person can make a difference for social
justice.
Wrestling With Angels
has already opened in New York City, and will be opening in Los Angeles
on November 3rd in limited engagement at the Nuart Theater, and will be released
nationwide in the following weeks (there is a screening schedule provided on the
official site).
