ANGELS IN AMERICA Joins the National Theatre Collection on Drama Online

The filmed performance of Angels in America Part One: Millennium Approaches and of Part Two: Perestroika will be added to the National Theatre Collection 2 on Drama Online in February alongside eight new films announced in November.

The multi-award-winning revival of Tony Kushner's two-part play is directed by Marianne Elliott, with a cast including Andrew Garfield, Nathan Lane, Denise Gough, Russel Tovey and James McArdle.

Angels in America Part One: Millennium Approaches

America in the mid-1980s. In the midst of the AIDS crisis and a conservative Reagan administration, six New Yorkers with interconnected lives grapple with life and death, love and sex, heaven and hell.

Angels in America Part Two: Perestroika

As the play continues, Part Two picks up the threads of our six New Yorkers whose relationships are in tatters and fates are rapidly intertwining. Prior, Joe, Belize, Louis, Harper and Roy continue their journeys through love, loss and loneliness to overcome abandonment and ultimately discover forgiveness.

The trailer for Angels in America, and trailers for other selected performances from The National Theatre Collection 2, are available to view on our Drama Online YouTube Channel.
