'Tiny Kushner' - short plays by Tony Kushner
SFGate: "Tony Kushner sounds tired and exhilarated, which may be normal for a man who writes paradigm-shifting plays. From the epic 'Angels in America' and prescient 'Homebody/Kabul' to the musical 'Caroline, or Change,' Kushner, 53, can't seem to stop wrestling massive themes to the stage with wit, penetrating insights and great theatricality."

I've always really enjoyed Kushner's work, and to see how these small plays evolved was what drew me to this article. The story of "Only We Who Guard" really fascinated me, that in the first instinct that he had after hearing about the destruction in Baghdad this play began to take shape. I would really like to attend this, if only to see how varied his works have become, and how the time constraint (really, all of his plays are extremely long and developed) effects his work.
