...Kurtz, and Glenn Close, was produced off-Broadway when she was 27. She received half a dozen awards for The Heidi Chronicles five years ago, including the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award (the first ever given to a woman dramatist without a male collaborator). Her latest, The Sisters Rosensweig, which received an Outer Critics Circle Award and Tony nomination on Broadway, opens in Boston today. In a conversation with The Harvard Crimson yesterday, she waxed ebullient about her life and work...

Heidi's done well in Germany--I kept thinking Heidi did well in Germany because people thought it's Heidi the mountain girl--and they've done okay in Japan.

She is living proof of the dividends that grants can pay. She vaulted into prominence playing the white girlfriend of black boxer Jack Johnson...
This season's best musical, Kiss of the Spider Woman, merges a homoerotic love story with homage to bygone movies viewed from a campy gay perspective. The season's ablest comedy, The Sisters Rosensweig, sympathetically portrays a bisexual man who romances one of the title siblings, then leaves her because he prefers men. The season's foremost drama, Angels in America, which opened last week to thunderous and deserved acclaim, positions the gay experience at the center of America's political and spiritual identity...
