Theatre Z, in association with newARTS, present Tony Kushner's Angels in America, A Gay Fantasia on National Themes at Arketype (612 Stuart Street) – Performances July 5th through July 10th at 7:30 pm (no performance on July 9th) - Winner of the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Winner of the 1993 Tony Award for Best Play. Angels in America centers on two couples desperately trying to preserve their relationships as the world collapses around them. A Mormon couple, Harper and Joe Pitt, must address their crumbling marriage when the agoraphobic Harper panics after Joe is offered a job in Washington by his mentor, the infamous Roy Cohn. Meanwhile, a gay couple, Prior Walter and Louis Ironson, copes with Prior’s diagnosis with AIDS and Louis’ subsequent impulses to abandon his lover in the face of the terrifying disease. Amidst the crushing realities these couples encounter in 1980s Manhattan, Kushner weaves their lives together through a series of magical encounters in which ghosts appear in bedrooms, Valium-induced delusions transport characters to Antarctica, and the appearance of angels.
