Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes

Tony Kushner’s groundbreaking two-play masterpiece was first produced at the Civic Theatre in 1997. This anniversary production spans the Reagan-Bush eras and spirals around the AIDS crisis in 1980s New York, weaving the lives of fictional and historical characters into a feverish web of social, political, and sexual revelations. Alternately hilarious and heartbreaking, Angels in America received two Tony Awards for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
