Tony Kushner’s Intelligent Homosexual’s Guide NYC Premiere to Be Co-Produced by Public and Signature

The New York premiere of Tony Kushner’s The Intelligent Homosexual’s Guide to Capitalism and Socialism with a Key to the Scriptures will be co-produced by The Public Theater and Signature Theatre Company in association with the Guthrie Theater. Michael Greif will direct the production, which will perform at the Public, March 22-June 12, 2011.

Set in the summer of 2007, the play concerns Gus Marcantonio, a retired longshoreman, who summons his children to the family’s Brooklyn brownstone for a series of shocking announcements. Casting will be announced at a later date.

The play premiered at the Guthrie last year, also directed by Greif, and this staging will be part of Signature’s 20th anniversary season, devoted to Kushner. The Signature season also includes the previously reported revival of Angels in America and another production to be announced.
