(Tony Kushner)
Tony Kushner’s been busy lately – he’s edited a new book on
the progressive Jewish response to Zionism; his new
play/musical at the Public Theater, ”Caroline, or
Change,” is a hit; ”Angels in America.” has been
re-adapted for HBO; and he’s even written a children’s
book. He’s here to talk about his recent goings-on-about-
town. Then Adam Goldberg on his role in the new action
comedy, ”The Hebrew Hammer.” And a discussion with
Judith Jamison, artistic director of the Alvin Ailey
American Dance Theater.
