Riassunto
“iHo is a vast, rich work of public-intellectual engagement. . . The values built into this beautifully inquiring play operate outside of common dramatic economies. Kushner’s carefully organized labor of love is a spur to the active mind.”—Adam Feldman, Time Out New York
Gus Marcantonio, a retired longshoreman, summons his adult children home to the family’s Brooklyn brownstone to discuss his recent decision to commit suicide. With his trademark mix of soaring intellect, searing emotion, and biting wit, Kushner unfurls an epic tale of revolution, radicalism, family, love, sex, politics, real estate, unions, and debts both unpaid and unpayable.
