Subtitled ‘A Gay Fantasia on National Themes’, Angels in America is Tony Kushner's epic, Pulitzer Award-winning two-part drama of homosexuality and the AIDS epidemic in 1980’s America. First performed in the UK at the National Theatre in 1992, Angels in America was revived at the National Theatre in 2017 with an all-star cast including Andrew Garfield playing Prior Walter, Denise Gough playing Harper Pitt, Nathan Lane playing Roy Cohn, James McArdle playing Louis Ironson and Rusell Tovey playing Joe Pitt. Steeped in metaphor and allegory Angels in America is a landmark American drama considered to be one of the most important works of twentieth-century drama. It has become one of the most studied American plays, with over 30,000 copies of both parts sold in the UK alone and has been filmed for television by Mike Nichols, with Al Pacino, Meryl Streep - and Emma Thompson as the eponymous Angel.
