Angels in America, Part 1 – Millenium Approaches

One of America’s most ambitious plays, Angels in America is a monumental artistic achievement. Recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, Kushner’s work is at once playful and profound, extravagantly theatrical, and extraordinarily entertaining. America in the mid-1980s. In the midst of the AIDS crisis and a conservative Reagan administration, New Yorkers grapple with life and death, love and sex, heaven and hell. Alternately hilarious and heartbreaking, this masterpiece beautifully addresses questions of identity, trust, justice, judgment, and ultimately meaning.
