Angels in America: Millennium Approaches & Perestroika (NHB Modern Plays) Paperback – April 13, 2017
Purchase options and add-ons
America in the mid-1980s. In the midst of the AIDS crisis and a conservative Reagan administration, New Yorkers grapple with life and death, love and sex, heaven and hell.
Originally premiered in Britain at the National Theatre, London, where it won the Evening Standard Best Play Award, Tony Kushner's Angels in America went on to win two Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
This volume contains both Part One: Millennium Approaches and Part Two: Perestroika, plus 45 pages of bonus material including a new introduction by the playwright, a full production history, deleted scenes, and notes on staging. It is published alongside a new production in 2017 at the National Theatre, London, directed by Marianne Elliott and starring Andrew Garfield, Denise Gough, Nathan Lane, James McArdle and Russell Tovey.
'The finest drama of our time, speaking to us of an entire era of life and death as no other play within memory. In its sweep and imagination, it defines the collapse of a moral universe during the Reagan years in an unforgettable way, transcending its specific time in the richness of its portrait of an America Lost, perhaps to be regained... it ranks as nothing less than one of the greatest plays of the twentieth century' New York Observer

- Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2017This handsome new edition heralds the play’s renewed esteem, thanks to the Royal National Thratre’s astounding new production. This is the great play of the late 20th century. Read it and see it. See it and read it. It’s compelling without limit.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2019I DIDN'T DISLIKE ANYTHING.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2018Excellent edition of a key work of contemporary drama.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2019The description said the book is new, but the front cover and several pages are severely creased down the center. It is so bad the cover won't close. Nonetheless, everything else about the books seems to be in good condition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic play.
Great script on nice paper. Quite thick but not too bulky to read from.

5.0 out of 5 stars Andrew Garfield
Se lo está leyendo mi hija porque en la obra de teatro basada en este libro, uno de los actores es Andrew Garfield y con eso ya es suficiente para que sea bueno según su criterio jajajaj (que lo es) . La verdad es que el libro por lo poco que me ha contado está muy bien.... lo malo para mí que no sé inglés y no puedo leerlo

3.0 out of 5 stars Ein Propaganda Stück mit politischer Mission.
Ansich kein Problem, doch ich für meinen Teil hab vergeblich auf erzählerischen Tiefgang gewartet. Der einzige in seiner Menschlichkeit greifbare Charakter in diesem Stück ist Joe Pitt. Alle anderen Charaktere bleiben flach und unzugänglich. Mehr Karikaturen als Menschen.
Trotz allem ist dieses Stück ein Klassiker und ein Must Read. Es kommt halt darauf an, was man von einem Theatherstück erwartet.
