Amazon.com description: Product Description:
ÂThe most lavish and picturesque special effects are what come out of the mouths of the people onstageÂ
Mr. Kushner makes words sing, swoon and somersault as no other living American playwright does.â ÂBen Brantley, New York Times
ÂRapture comes naturally to playwright Tony Kushner, and in The Illusion, he plants a big swoony kiss on the lips of the theater.â ÂNelson Pressley, Washington Post
Â[The Illusion] certainly has the stamp of Kushnerâs delight in language. This is a modern interpretation, filled with energy, colour and humour.â ÂTelegraph (UK)
ÂFantastical tribute to the magic of theater You may resist its charms at first, but soon enough you soften and, intoxicated by Kushner's language and swayed by the music of his ideas, you submit to The Illusion's ravishments.â ÂTimeOut New York
Tony Kushnerâs adaptation of The Illusion triumphs as a thoroughly modern rendering of Pierre Corneilleâs neoclassical French comedy while featuring the exquisite wordplay, beguiling comedy and fierce intelligence found in all of Kushnerâs work. An enchanting argument for the power of theatrical imagination over reality, The Illusion weaves obsession and caprice, romance and murder, fact and fiction, into an enticing exploration of the greatest illusion of allÂlove.
