Kushner discuss his great work, ANGELS IN AMERICA

I love Kushner's writing, especially his essays. Yesterday, he was interviewed on NPR's Talk of the Nation about his work, especially Angels in America. What struck me about the interview was Kushner's take on the plays enduring relevance. Money quote:

It's completely clear that what we were beginning to get worried about in the '80s was very serious and very real things ... so the play, and the times, both feel darker to me now than they did back then.

He mentions the Charlotte, North Carolina, production from the 1990s, too, which is mentioned in Dear Jesse.
