- The Public Forum: Sondheim/Kushner
On November 29, 2010, The Public Theater welcomed two giants of the American Theater, Stephen Sondheim and Tony Kushner, to its Public Forum discussion series. Here for the first time you can watch excerpts from the conversation about the theatrical life, the craft of writing, and Stephen Sondheim's book FINISHING THE HAT.

Amazing how nervous/excited Tony Kushner sounds!
Not just a playwright. A Pulitzer Prize winning playwright who is perhaps one of the most erudite and gifted playwrights living today. A man so brilliant that Signature Theatre Company has devoted their entire 20th Anniversary season to his work.
Loved this video! All the best!!
It's a shame the sound is so bad!
How is it that the Public Theater had trouble getting good audio of its own event? Problems getting access to the stage or the soundboard?
Who’s the third guy?
I couldnt hear it.
Come on! Give him a break! I really feel sorry for him, for being sooo nervous! I understand it.... and it's a shame he lost the opportunity to ask questions the proper way and cool.
Personally, I feel like people have been bemoaning the state of the culture and its ability for discussion for hundreds of years. The effect the information age is having on speech is no different in relation to what came before than the effect of television or of the cheap, mass produced book. To say that one of the deepest and most eloquent writers alive today is contributing to the failure of today's discourse because of his skills as a public speaker is utterly ridiculous.
Bad sound no excuse.
