THEATRE
Angels in America: Part One – Millennium Approaches
In the first part of Tony Kushner’s 1991 epic, set in 1980’s New York City, a gay man is abandoned by his lover when he contracts the AIDS virus, and a closeted Mormon lawyer’s marriage to his pill-popping wife stalls. Other characters include the infamous McCarthy-ite lawyer Roy Cohn, Ethel Rosenberg, a former drag queen who works as a nurse, and an angel. This full-length drama (approximately 3 hours), was winner of the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and winner of the 1993 Tony Award for Best Play. The play is a complex, often metaphorical, and at times symbolic examination of the AIDS crisis and homosexuality in the U.S. in the 1980s.
Tickets: $22-$30
