Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes: Part One: Millennium Approaches Part Two: Perestroika by Tony Kushner
Something rare, dangerous and harrowing...a roman candle hurled into a drawing room.
Angels in America is playful and profound, extravagantly theatrical and deeply spiritual, witty, and compassionate, furious and incredibly smart....It's impossible to imagine anyone captivated by the beginning not wanting — needing — to go back for the end.
Side note: Tony Kushner's two-part masterwork is now available in a single edition to coincide with the broadcast of the epic HBO special directed by Mike Nichols and starring Meryl Streep, Al Pacino, Emma Thompson, Mary-Louise Parker, Jeffrey Wright, Michael Gambon and Simon Callow, scheduled for December 2003.
