Angels in America, Parastroika

The massive, shattering conclusion to Tony Kushner’s theatrical revolution, 'Angels in America: Perestroika' demands the restoration of human agency and political solidarity in a world where God has abandoned heaven. Picking up precisely where Millennium Approaches left off at the Walter Kerr Theatre in 1993, the plot charts the painful, hallucinatory, and deeply funny paths toward community and survival as Prior Walter wrestles with the Angel, Roy Cohn faces a lonely death from AIDS, and a non-traditional chosen family forms amidst the ruins of the Reagan era. Staged concurrently by George C. Wolfe, this work documents an unparalleled, Tony-winning triumph of contemporary American stage literature.
