Angels in America - Part One: Millennium Approaches

By Tony Kushner.

1985 - New York is falling apart. In the midst of the AIDS crisis, six interwoven lives contend with life and death, love and sex, heaven and hell.

A dying young man is abandoned by his partner. A closeted Mormon lawyer grapples with truth, family and love. A notorious power broker denies the disease eating him alive. And an Angel has arrived, with a message that won’t wait.

Across two brilliant parts, this Pulitzer Prize and Tony award-winning epic by Tony Kushner cuts to the heart of politics and relationships in the 1980s as well as the present. Rarely performed yet often hailed as one of the greatest works of the 20th century, Angels in America promises an incomparably gripping, emotional and adventurous two nights of theatre in Cambridge.
