Angels In America
"Angels in America" is a two-part play written by Tony Kushner that explores the lives of several characters in 1980s New York City during the AIDS crisis. The narrative intertwines the personal struggles of the characters with broader themes of politics, sexuality, and spirituality.
The play features characters such as Prior Walter, a gay man diagnosed with AIDS, and Roy Cohn, a powerful lawyer who grapples with his identity. Through magical realism, including the presence of an angel, the story delves into the complexities of human relationships and the impact of societal issues on individual lives.
