Angels in America - Part One - Millenium Approaches

Winner of the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Winner of the 1993 Tony Award for Best Play

"Daring and dazzling! The most ambitious American play of our time: an epic that ranges from earth to heaven; focuses on politics, sex and religion; transports us to Washington, the Kremlin, the South Bronx, Salt Lake City and Antarctica; deals with Jews, Mormons, WASPs, blacks; switches between realism and fantasy, from the tragedy of AIDS to the camp comedy of drag queens to the death or at least the absconding of God." Jack Kroll, Newsweek
"A vast miraculous play...provocative, witty and deeply upsetting...a searching and radical rethinking of American political drama..." Frank Rich, New York Times
"Something rare, dangerous and harrowing...a roman candle hurled into a drawing room..." Nicholas de Jongh, London Evening Standard
"An epic theatrical fever dream...a three-hour cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more." Variety
"A victory for theater, for the transforming power of the imagination to turn devastation into beauty." John Lahr, New Yorker
"Establishes Kushner as a poet and moral visionary in love with the theater yet awake in the world." Don Shewey, Village Voice

World premiere: The Eureka Theater Company. Subsequently produced at the Royal National Theater and on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theater.
