Book Description
"Marvelous . . . A vital book about how to make political art that offers lasting solace in times of great trouble, and wisdom to audiences in the years that follow."- Washington Post NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR A STONEWALL BOOK AWARDS HONOR BOOK The oral history of Angels in America, as told by the artists who created it and the audiences forever changed by it--a moving account of the AIDS era, essential queer history, and an exuberant backstage tale. When Tony Kushner's Angels in America hit Broadway in 1993, it won the Pulitzer Prize, swept the Tonys, launched a score of major careers, and changed the way gay lives were represented in popular culture. Mike Nichols's 2003 HBO adaptation starring Meryl Streep, Al Pacino, and Mary-Louise Parker was itself a tour de force, winning Golden Globes and eleven Emmys, and introducing the play to an even wider public. This generation-defining classic continues to shock, move, and inspire viewers worldwide. Now, on the 25th anniversary of that Broadway premiere, Isaac Butler and Dan Kois offer the definitive account of Angels in America in the most fitting way possible: through oral history, the vibrant conversation and debate of actors (including Streep, Parker, Nathan Lane, and Jeffrey Wright), directors, producers, crew, and Kushner himself. Their intimate storytelling reveals the on- and offstage turmoil of the play's birth--a hard-won miracle beset by artistic roadblocks, technical disasters, and disputes both legal and creative. And historians and critics help to situate the play in the arc of American culture, from the staunch activism of the AIDS crisis through civil rights triumphs to our current era, whose politics are a dark echo of the Reagan '80s. Expanded from a popular Slate cover story and built from nearly 250 interviews, The World Only Spins Forward is both a rollicking theater saga and an uplifting testament to one of the great works of American art of the past century, from its gritty San Francisco premiere to its starry, much-anticipated Broadway revival in 2018.

Looking Forward as the Journey Continues
Author: George Mills
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1642995177
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 89
Book Description
As I stand here, waiting for the ship to sail to begin a second journey in my life, I find myself looking out over this beautiful city. I stand, remembering a time when there was once a beautiful wildflower who was with me on this journey of life. We both believed that we were each other's one true love who held the other half of our souls. Since we parted ways, I can only pray that my beautiful wildflower has found someone who she believes holds the key to her heart. I find myself, once again, standing all alone, only remembering the good times in which we travel down this ol' rugged road that our Heavenly Father placed before us. You are no longer with me to continue our journey in life. I can only wonder what our lives would be like today if you had opened the door of your heart and let your love find its way unto me.
