This cerebral mammoth of a play asks what is left when the long-held belief systems that construct and inform one\'s identity prove to be empty.
with sweeping themes as hefty as its title, IHo (as it has been nicknamed) explores the dense and vexing issues that stem from the betrayal of a failed ideology and the challenges of family connectedness.
with his trademark mix of soaring intellect, searing emotion, and biting wit, legendary playwright Tony Kushner unfurls an epic tale of revolution, radicalism, family, love, sex, politics, real estate, unions and debts both unpaid and unpayable.
Kushner\'s social engagement and his intellectualism are balanced, as always, by his penetrating humanism.-- Hollywood Reporter Gus Marcantonio, a retired longshoreman, summons his adult children home to the family\'s Brooklyn brownstone to discuss his recent decision to commit suicide. . . .
Its big argumentative poetry screams out that history matters.-- The Nation A brainy, brawny, thematically expansive work, stuffed with challenging sociopolitical ideas and dialectical fireworks. . . .
Offers the chance to banquet on rich and delectable passions and ideas, washed down with lashings of wit.
