| Abstract: |
This article delves into the profound impact of LGBTQ themes in modern drama by analyzing Tony Kushner's "Angels in America" and Mart Crowley's "The Boys in the Band." Exploring resilience, love, and societal challenges within the LGBTQ community, both plays offer nuanced portrayals of queer experiences. Kushner's exploration of the AIDS epidemic and character development sets a gold standard for authenticity in depicting the LGBTQ journey. "Angels in America" resonates across theatre, inspiring subsequent playwrights to delve into the intricacies of identity and societal challenges. Concurrently, Crowley's "The Boys in the Band," a historical candid portrayal of openly gay characters, leaves an indelible mark on LGBTQ representation. Kushner's play, "Angels in America," adds another layer. Inspired by George Bernard Shaw's "The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism" and Mary Baker Eddie's "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Kushner weaves historical and intellectual threads into his narrative. Beyond individual narratives, both plays contribute substantially to the broader cultural landscape. They serve as touchstones in the evolution of LGBTQ representation, influencing subsequent works and societal attitudes towards LGBTQ rights. The article reflects on implications for contemporary drama, emphasizing the transformative power of authentic LGBTQ storytelling in challenging stereotypes and fostering understanding. As the cultural impact reverberates, the article suggests future research. This includes exploring evolving LGBTQ narratives in contemporary drama, examining intersectionality, and investigating broader sociocultural implications. The study recommends delving into emerging playwrights contributing to ongoing LGBTQ representation, ensuring a dynamic understanding of queer narratives in the dramatic arts. |
