The first part of Tony Kushner's Pulitzer Prize-winning two-part play, a "Gay Fantasia on National Themes" set in 1980s New York City during the AIDS crisis, exploring themes of sexuality, politics, religion, and identity through interconnected stories, including a man with AIDS, his lover, a closeted Mormon lawyer, and the infamous Roy Cohn, culminating in a supernatural visitation from an angel.
The Cité des Arts Readers Theater Series is designed to bring plays from the classical theater to the contemporary audience in a fun, relaxed, and accessible manner. With a cast of very talented local actors, it is the goal of the series to educate and inspire our audiences. To dispel the idea that these plays are inaccessible or meant only for academics. The plays in the series were written for the masses and still reverberate in our modern times.
