City Of Angels

摘要

How in heaven's name do you describe "Angels in America" without taking up this entire magazine? After all, this is a play about Jews and Mormons, gays and straights, New York and Antarctica, the ozone, Ethel Rosenberg, AIDS, African-Americans, Reagan Republicans, "Cats"―and we haven't even mentioned the angels, or a devil named Roy Cohn. When "Angels" opened on Broadway in 1993, it blew the roof off American theater. Here, at last, was a play that wasn't afraid to take on the whole world―and the after- world―with thrilling language and stagecraft, and wicked humor that would have made Oscar Wilde proud. Tony Kushner, then only 36, won a Pulitzer Prize and two Tony awards. See why we're afraid we can't do it justice?
