Angels in America

Tony Kushner’s seminal modern epic is a story both intimate and grand, which follows the disintegration of two relationships against a backdrop of greed, conservatism and the discovery of AIDS. The play transports the audience to New York, Washington, the Kremlin, Salt Lake City, Antarctica and even to Heaven. His characters overflow from the American melting pot as the story weaves through fantasy and reality in a powerful exploration of politics, religion and sex that remains poignant today. Collectively, the two parts of Angels in America won the Pulitzer Prize (1993), two Tony Awards, two Drama Desk awards and over 200 other awards throughout the world.
