Summary
Tony Kushner has sparked controversy from critics about his theater. Some have accused him of presenting a deceptive theater that manipulates to please all parties; However, others have considered that his double stage presents a true comprehensive picture of the political reality we live in. Between this and that, the study aims to analyze his plays and identify their characteristics.
The study reached its objectives by three chapters, preceded by an introduction, and followed by a conclusion. As for the first chapter, it dealt with the development of political theater through time; Starting from the Greek political theater through the theatrics of Shakespeare and Brecht, the researcher achieved the main objective of the chapter by studying the impact of political theater in its various stages on Kushner’s theater. As for the second chapter, its title is ”from reality to the double theater”; it dealt with the definition and interpretation of reality, and the researcher showed through it that reality is a broad term, but a look at it is necessary to understand and analyze Tony Kushner’s double-natured theater. As for the third chapter, the researcher dealt with the methods used by Tony Kushner in his plays; He manipulated many methods to be able to link the two stages of this theater, as each stage needs a language that suits its culture and embodies its reality with credibility, and music that helps convey a certain character about its civilizations; Theatrical signs are also commensurate with this character.
The researcher concluded her study with a set of results, the most important of which was that Kushner’s writings were honest, clear, and comprehensive plays, not hypocrisy; The study considered him to be the ideal writer of his time; The public has always been amazed at his concern for fairness. He can also argue so eloquently for both sides that his plays take absolutely no position. The study also showed Kushner’s attempt to bridge the gap between societies with a comprehensive drama despite the different cultures and languages. Kushner also realized the reality in his plays in a comprehensive and empty manner, so he uses the double presentation method in his theater to convey this comprehensive view to his audience. In short, Tony Kushner’s plays have big themes and great ideas. Kushner has produced a variety of plays that deal with compelling themes and ideas by resorting to unconventional theatrical formats and techniques. Whether he is viewed as a leftist or a free-thinking writer, what is perfectly consistent in his neo-realist form is his belief that theater can change lives for the better. The duty of the writer is to explain the world in which he lives.
