Angel in America Part I Millennium Approaches

Madison Lyric Stage brings to the Shoreline the herculean work in two parts Angels in America by Tony Kushner. This season we present Part I: Millennium Approaches.  Subtitled A Gay Fantasia on National Themes, Tony Kushner’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony award-winning play is a complex, often metaphorical and at times symbolic, examination of AIDS and homosexuality in America in the 1980s.

The two parts of the play, Millennium Approaches and Perestroika, are often presented over two nights, but may be presented separately. In 2003, HBO adapted Angels in America into a six-episode miniseries, using the same title.
