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, "A vast, miraculous play... provocative, witty and deeply upsetting... a searching and radical rethinking of American political drama." - Frank Rich, "A victory for theater, for the transforming power of the imagination to turn devastation into beauty." - John Lahr, “An enormously impressive work of the imagination and intellect, a towering example of what theater stretched to its full potential can achieve.” - "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.
