Angels in America is an incredible drama set against the backdrop of the AIDS crisis that also offers a critique of American conservative politics. It focuses on the stories of two troubled couples, one gay, one straight: “word processor” Louis Ironson and his lover Prior Walter, and Mormon lawyer Joe Pitt and his wife Harper. Prior contracts AIDS, and Louis panics. Meanwhile, Joe is offered a job in the Justice Department by Roy Cohn, his right-wing, bigoted mentor and friend. Their lives intersect in unexpected and interesting ways.

Tony Kushner’s epic seven-hour play in two parts won numerous awards, including the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1993. The incredible star cast includes Andrew Garfield, Denise Gough, Nathan Lane, James McArdle, and Russell Tovey.
