What a great play! If you ever get the chance to see it, do so. Especially see it if it's offered as a double bill with its sequel, "Perestroika." But be prepared for some uncomfortable moments. Kushner has pulled no punches on what it was like to be gay in America in 1985, not to mention be gay and have AIDS in America in 1985. I'm not entirely sure why the emphasis on Mormons in this show, unless the author has used that religion solely as a metaphor for repression. But my job is not to analyze, just to enjoy. I repeat: what a great play! ( )

Tony Kushner's famous two-part play that encompasses a wide swath of America. ( )

My God, this is a brilliant play. It's relentless, and I felt like I was holding my breath the entire time I read it. "A gay fantasia on national themes," definitely. ( )

I loved Angels in America. There is a lot of modern American drama that I believe just doesn't hold up as literature. Kushner, however, belongs in the same pantheon of modern American greats as Pinter and Mamet. ( )

Still a classic ( )
