"Daring and dazzling! The most ambitious American play of our time: an epic that ranges from earth to heaven; focuses on politics, sex and religion; transports us to Washington, the Kremlin, the South Bronx, Salt Lake City and Antarctica; deals with Jews, Mormons, WASPs, blacks; switches between realism and fantasy, from the tragedy of AIDS to the camp comedy of drag queens to the death or at least the absconding of God" ~ Jack Kroll, Newsweek

"A vast miraculous play...provocative, witty and deeply upsetting...a searching and radical rethinking of American political drama..." ~ Frank Rich, New York Times

"Something rare, dangerous and harrowing...a roman candle hurled into a drawing room..." ~ Nicholas de Jongh, London Evening Standard

"An epic theatrical fever dream...a three-hour cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more" ~ Variety

"A victory for theater, for the transforming power of the imagination to turn devastation into beauty" ~ John Lahr, New Yorker

"Establishes Kushner as a poet and moral visionary in love with the theater yet awake in the world" ~ Don Shewey, Village Voice

World premiere: The Eureka Theater Company. Subsequently produced at the Royal National Theater and on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theater
