Angels in America Part One: Millennium Approaches

September 27 - October 26

Angels in America Part One Millennium Approaches

Set in New York City, the play takes place between October 1985 and February 1986. The play begins at a funeral, where an elderly rabbi eulogizes the deceased woman’s entire generation of immigrants who risked their lives to build a community in the United States. Soon after, the deceased’s grandson, Louis Ironson, learns that his lover Prior Walter, the last member of an old stock American family, has AIDS. As Prior’s illness progresses, Louis becomes unable to cope, and he abandons Prior during a health episode that lands him in the hospital. Prior is given emotional support by their friend Belize, a hospital nurse and ex-drag queen, who separately also deals with Louis’s self-castigating guilt and myriad excuses for leaving Prior.
