Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches
by Tony Kushner
Sub-titled “A Gay Fantasia on National Themes,” Kushner’s landmark epic drama set during the AIDS epidemic of Ronald Reagan’s 1980’s presidency contains the mighty scope of sweeping political theatre and the humor and touching emotion of an intimate love story. The Pulitzer and Tony award-winning play will be directed by guest artist Rebecca Patterson, co-founder and artistic director of New York City’s The Queen’s Company.
