Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes includes Part One, Millennium Approaches and Part Two, Perestroika. Glorious. A monumental, subversive, altogether remarkable masterwork. Details of specific catastrophes may have changed since this Reagan-era AIDS epic won the Pulitzer and the Tony, but the real cosmic and human obsessions, power, religion, sex, responsibility, the future of the world are as perilous, yet as falling-down funny, as ever. ́ Linda Winer, Newsday' A vast, miraculous play... provocative, witty and deeply upsetting... a searching and radical rethinking of American political drama.'- Frank Rich, New York Times' A victory for theater, for the transforming power of the imagination to turn devastation into beauty.'- John Lahr, New Yorker. An enormously impressive work of the imagination and intellect, a towering example of what theater stretched to its full potential can achieve. ́ -Philadelphia Inquirer' Angels in America is the finest drama of our time, speaking to us of an entire era of life and death as no other play within memory. It ranks as nothing less than one of the greatest plays of the twentieth century.'- John Heilpern, New York Observer. Some playwrights want to change the world. Some want to revolutionize theater. Tony Kushner is that rarity of rarities: a writer who has the promise to do both. ́ -New York Times. This new edition of Tony Kushner's masterpiece is published with the author's recent changes and a new introduction in celebration of the twentieth anniversary of its original production. One of the most honored American plays in history, Angels in America was awarded two Tony Awards for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It was made into an Emmy Award-winning HBO film directed by Mike Nichols. This two-part epic, subtitled' A Gay Fantasia on National Themes, 'has received hundreds of performances worldwide in more than twenty-six languages. Tony Kushner's plays include Angels in America; Hydriotaphia, or the Death of Dr. Brown; The Illusion, adapted from the play by Pierre Cornelle; Slavs!; A Bright Room Called Day; Homebody/Kabul; Caroline, or Change, a musical with composer Jeanine Tesori; and The Intelligent Homosexual's Guide to Capitalism and Socialism with a Key to the Scriptures. He wrote the screenplays for Mike Nichols's film of Angels in America and for Steven Spielberg's Munich and Lincoln. His books include The Art of Maurice Sendak: 1980 to the Present; Brundibar, with illustrations by Maurice Sendak; and Wrestling with Zion: Progressive Jewish-American Responses to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, co-edited with Alisa Solomon. Among many honors, Kushner is the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize, two Tony Awards, three Obie Awards, two Evening Standard Awards, an Olivier Award, an Emmy Award, two Oscar nominations, and the Steinberg Distinguished Playwright Award. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. In 2012, he was awarded a National Medal of Arts by President Barack Obama.

The only reason I didn’t completely like this as an audio is because I loath listening to a dramatization. Although, simply reading this play probably could not do it justice. ( )

"It isn't easy. It doesn't count if it's easy. It's the hardest thing, forgiveness. Maybe that's where love and justice finally meet."

These words, spoken by Belize, the moral center of the play, define what the play is about. Forgiveness, of others who have wronged us, and of ourselves when we have wronged others, is one of the most difficult things for humans to do. Husbands and wives, mothers and sons, gods and humans, lovers, friends, political adversaries, every relationship in this play requires forgiveness.

I didn't particularly like this play, until that line was spoken by Belize in the final act. And then it all made sense, and I realized it might be one of the greatest plays of the 20th century. ( )

One of the greatest plays in the American cannon. ( )

Yesterday morning, after mindlessly scrolling through all of my social media feeds for hundredth time, I felt disgusted with myself and the world but mostly myself. I needed a devotional. Church. (It was Sunday morning.) But nothing religious. I gave that up long ago. I went to my bookshelf and straight to the plays. Angels caught my eye. I hadn't read it since the 90s. My copy of Millennium opened to Act 2, and I just started reading. The house was quiet; only the critters and I were up yet. I read to then end of Act 2, then went back to beginning, read through the end of Part 1 and onto Perestroika. My devotional turned into an all-day revival meeting. Just what my sorry soul needed.

"Greetings, Prophet!
The Great Work Begins:
The Messenger has arrived."
- Millennium Approaches, Act Three, Scene Seven

Please combine only complete works of part I (Millennium Approaches) and part II (Perestroika) here.

Also, this work is for the text. Do not combine with the film adaptation, which is considered a separate "work" for LT purposes.
