The mid-1980s. America. A modern masterpiece, Angels in America, careens from New York City to Heaven and back in the midst of the AIDS crisis and a conservative Reagan administration. A brilliant and poignant exploration of human connection, this epic tale will be brought to vivid life through Bedlam Artistic Director Eric Tucker’s signature, pared-down approach. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best Play, Angels in America is still fiercely hopeful today.
Please note:
Angels in America includes explicit sexual situations, nudity and adult language.
