Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes is
set in late 1985 and early 1986, as the first wave of the AIDS epidemic
in America is escalating and Ronald Reagan has been elected to a second
term in the White House. The play's two parts, Millennium Approaches and Perestroika,
bring together a young gay man with AIDS and his frightened, unfaithful
lover; a closeted Mormon lawyer and his valium-addicted wife; the
infamous New York lawyer Roy Cohn; an African-American male nurse; a
Mormon housewife from Utah; and a steel-winged, prophecy-bearing angel;
as well as the ghost of Ethel Rosenberg, an ancient rabbi, the world's
oldest living Bolshevik and a Reagan administration functionary, among
many others - all played by a company of eight actors. The lives of
these disparate characters intersect, intertwine, collide and are blown
apart during a time of heartbreak, reaction and transformation. Ranging
from earth to heaven, from the political to the intimate to the
visionary and supernatural, Angels in America is an epic exploration of love, justice, identity and theology, of the difficulty, terror and necessity of change.
