Educational DVD for Schools and Universities David Ansen (Newsweek) praises Kushner's "humor, ambition, vision and dazzling braininess" and David Courier (Sundance Festival) writes “one of our greatest living playwrights, Pulitzer and Tony Award winner Tony Kushner (Angels in America, Caroline, or Change, Munich) is a consummate artist and indomitable political activist committed to equality and social justice...watching Marcia Gay Harden as Laura Bush in a scene from Kushner’s new play is worth the price of admission...hearing Meryl Streep read a prayer that Kushner wrote asking no, demanding God to cure AIDS will tear your heart out. ” |

“For students, theatergoers, and any engaged citizen, Mock’s Wrestling with Angels, like a new Kushner play, is not to be missed. The film is a bracing reminder of the unique and essential ways in which the stage can frame the major social-political questions of a complex era.”
Professor James Fisher, Theater Dept., University of North Carolina and author of The Theater of Tony Kushner “Director Freida Mock’s film offers a comprehensive and brilliantly fashioned study of the life and work of Tony Kushner. It should be included in any course on contemporary and post-modern theater.”
Professor Carl Weber, Theater Dept., Stanford University

- Stephen Holden, New York Times

“Kushner is so charming that it would be easy to overlook (that) his plays are about things that matter. With his brains, passion and optimism, he’s quite a package.”
- Jay Carr, AMNY
