What people say:

"Tony Kushner's 'Homebody / Kabul' is the most remarkable play in a decade … without a doubt the most important of our time." — John Heilpern for the New York Observer

"Kushner's first big work on a great big canvas since his Pulitzer Prize–winning 'Angels in America'. This eerily timely work about Afghanistan is comparably mesmerizing and mournful, vast and intimate, emotionally generous and stylistically fabulist, wildly verbal, politically progressive and scarily well informed." — Linda Winer for Newsday

"Mr. Kushner's glorious specialty is in giving theatrical life to internal points of view, in which our thoughts meld with a character's wayward speculations or fantasies. Mr. Kushner achieves that rich double vision that he can summon better than any other living American playwright. He makes the personal and the universal, the trivial and the cosmic come simultaneously to life in a single character's bewilderment." — Ben Brantley for the New York Times
