Tiny Kushner

Tricycle Theatre, 269 Kilburn High Road, London

Tiny Kushner is a collection of five plays by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner (Angels In America), presented in one evening and performed by an all-American cast.

Tiny Kushner comprises the following snappily-titled plays:

Flip Flop Fly!, which details a bizarre lunar encounter between two dead women: Lucia Pamela,  the American concert pianist who claimed to have made an album on the moon in 1969, and Geraldine, the deposed queen of Albania. With one nattering on about her life in entertainment and the other about her life in exile, the two compare the courses of their lives.

Terminating Or Sonnet LXXV Or "Lass Meine Schmerzen Nicht Verloren Sein" Or Ambivalence - Sitting in an office are Esther, an analyst, and her former patient, Hendryk, along with their lovers Dymphna and Billygoat. Hendryk pleads with Esther to take him back as a patient.

East Coast Ode To Howard Jarvis: A Little Teleplay In Tiny Monologues - An outrageous 1990s scheme actually used to avoic paying taxes. As a housing detective discovers its success, news of the fraud spreads rapidly, prompting the government to investigate.

Dr. Arnold A. Hutschnecker In Paradise - Metatron, a Recording Angel with a million eyes, is holding a supervisory session with Dr Hutschneker in an upscale office in heaven. The two discuss how Hutschneker's pains and his denial of mortality could quite possibly be related to his sessions with his own patient, Richard Milhous Nixon, with whom he frequently meets in the afterlife.

Only We Who Guard the Mystery Shall Be Unhappy - Former First Lady Laura Bush reads from The Brothers Karamazov to the pyjama-clad ghosts of dead Iraqi children, all of whom are watched over by an angel.
