Description:
More than a generation ago, Tony Kushner explored
homophobia and the complicity of lawyers in perpetuating discrimination in
Angels in America. This elimination of bias law and literature CLE
revisits this work, asking what we have learned in 30 years and what can we
learn from this play at a time when intolerance seems to be on the
rise. In two CLE sessions, we shall discuss Angels in America, Part
Two: Perestroika, by Tony Kushner.
Following registration, you will receive the reading materials in advance of
the session. Attendees are expected to read the play in advance and come
prepared for a lively discussion.
