"Angels in America" was a groundbreaking theatrical masterpiece that left an indelible mark on American theater in the 20th century. While there has been extensive discussion surrounding Tony Kushner's epic drama, the National Theatre of Great Britain's productions of the show have received relatively less attention. However, it is worth noting that the National Theatre played a pivotal role in the play's early development in the early 1990s and once again revived interest in 2018 with Marianne Elliott's reimagined version, starring Andrew Garfield and Nathan Lane.
In this book, we delve into the significance of the National Theatre in the play's history, exploring how Elliott's production reinterpreted the play 25 years after its original debut. We chronicle the tumultuous journey of the first production, highlighting its successes in London and New York. Furthermore, we examine the play's key themes, including its powerful representation of AIDS, its status as an iconic gay play, and its incisive political commentary.
Concluding with an in-depth analysis of Elliott's reimagining, this book serves as a comprehensive history of "Angels in America" and a contemplation on its enduring relevance. It sheds light on the National Theatre's contribution to the play's development and its impact on the theatrical landscape, making it a valuable resource for scholars, theater enthusiasts, and anyone interested in exploring the rich tapestry of American theater."
