The year is 1985. Reagan is backing a culture of ruthless self-interest. The cold war is ending. The ozone layer is melting. Americans are learning how to survive a plague. It's at this tipping point that the great work begins. In New York City, Roy Cohn, the politically powerful right-wing lawyer, angrily denies his diagnosis of AIDS, while his protégé, a court clerk and Republican Mormon, struggles with a Valium addicted wife. Simultaneously, an ailing yet spirited gay man begins to hear messages from a supernatural being that build to an exhilarating conclusion. Told with exuberance, wit, energy and an almost apocalyptic sense of play, Tony Kushner’s wild fantasia carries the audience headlong through an astonishing theatrical landscape populated by communists, capitalists, Mormons, rabbis, mothers, homos and ghosts.
Ages: Adult themes and situations. Play contains strong language and nudity.
