Angels in America: Part 1 - Millennium Approaches September 15, 2010

This play by Tony Kushner begins in 1985, when AIDS is branded as an epidemic. Prior, a gay man, has discovered he is dying from AIDS and must break the news to his lover, Louis. Joe and Harper are a Mormon couple who move to New York; Joe pursues a career as a lawyer, while his wife takes Valium to help her deal with her loneliness. Harper, with the help of her drug-induced dreams, comes to the realization that her husband might be gay. All of the characters attempt to deal with the disintegration of the world order as they face AIDS, global warming, and Reaganomics.
