Wolfe it wasn’t a project he originally thought he would take on. The five-time Tony Award-winning director and playwright revealed on “Salon Talks” that if he was going to direct a revival of the Eugene O’Neill classic, the project needed to have risk, and at first, he couldn’t pinpoint any big artistic challenges. That all changed when he read O’Neill again. Wolfe told Salon’s executive editor Andrew O’Hehir, “Iceman is a slight departure, I normally don't like doing revivals because I figure, you know, always when I do a play there's gotta be an equation of risk and potential failure, you know, and when you're working on a new play, it's like, how do I do this and do we have the time and, so all of these huge questions engage, I think the, hopefully, the smartest part of me, and then when you're doing the revival, well somebody's already solved it. But then, so what do I have to offer for it?” Wolfe’s five Tony Awards cover different aspects of theater like playwriting, play direction and musical direction. Wolfe won Tonys for best direction with “Angels in America: Millennium Approaches” and “Bring in 'da Noise/Bring in 'da Funk.” Watch the video above to learn more about Wolfe’s vision for the show and watch the [full interview]( to hear his thoughts on the newest production of “Angels in America.” Tune in for SalonTV's live shows, ["Salon Talks"]( and ["Salon Stage"]( , daily at noon ET / 9 a.m. PT and 4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. PT, streaming live on [Salon]( , [Facebook]( and [Periscope]( . [“Angels in America” returns]( When Tony Kushner’s “Angels in America” landed on Broadway in 1993 it forever changed how gay lives were depicted in popular culture. On its 25th anniversary, authors Dan Kois and Isaac Butler join Salon’s Amanda Marotte on “Salon Talks” to share the oral history of the breakout show that won a Tony Award, a Pulitzer Prize and sparked a hit HBO adaptation starring Meryl Streep and Al Pacino. Kois and Butler’s new book “The World Only Spins Forward” pieces together nearly 250 interviews, including Meryl Streep, Mary-Louise Parker, Nathan Lane, and playwright Tony Kushner. For both Kois and Butler, who are huge fans of the show, they took great care to ensure that the oral history matched the aesthetic and overall themes of the original production. Kois told Salon, “The play is so much about the interchange of voices and a dialectic of people arguing points… points of love and faith and politics and idealism. And so the idea of having all these people talk to each other on our pages seemed like a great way to sort of pay tribute to that.” Check out the episode above to hear more about the play’s cultural significance, how it took on the emergence of AIDS and helped accelerate the nation’s changing attitudes around homosexuality.
