Pride Toronto’s innovative Queer Icon Series returns with An Evening With Tony Kushner.
Tony is a Pulitzer prize-winning author of the two-part epic, Angels In America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes.
“He gives voice to characters who have been rendered powerless by the forces of circumstances—a drag queen dying of AIDS, an uneducated Southern maid, contemporary Afghans—and his attempt to see all sides of their predicament has a sly subversiveness.

—John Lahr, The New Yorker.
