2. Angels in America - Part 1

In Tony Kushner’s multi-award-winning American epic, each person is confronted with truths they have struggled to face—about themselves, about one another, and about the world at large—and the painful, transformative power of those realities. New York City, 1985. Amid the AIDS crisis, two couples struggle to navigate their relationships, families, careers, illness, and dreams. As the lives of Prior, Louis, Joe and Harper unfold, so do questions of cosmic justice. As ghosts of historical figures mingle with contemporary prophets and timeless angels, the power of Kushner’s narrative reverberates into the perils of the present, as America barrels toward another historic election. As humans—those with the power to change and create—Kushner’s timeless drama offers much-needed hope for our future—and an opportunity to re-engage with the “Great Work” before us.
