"angels in america is an epic play. and it is being staged by an epic director. It is going to be combustible."

Molly Smith

Tony Kushner’s Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning drama Angels in America is one of the great epic American plays of this past century. We meet Louis and Prior and Harper and Joe, two couples whose relationships are on the rocks; the former because of Prior’s AIDS diagnosis and Louis’ inability to cope with illness, and the latter because of Joe’s closeted homosexuality and Harper’s incessant fears and hallucinations. The brilliant Hungarian director and filmmaker János Szász will stage Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches in-the-round 30 years after its Broadway premiere.

Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches is sponsored by AARP with additional support by Patricia and David Fisher and Andrew R. Ammerman.
