Angels in America Part Two: Perestroika

Various forces have gathered in New York: the ex-boyfriend and his Mormon squeeze, the squeeze’s pill-popping wife and Mormon mother, a rabid Republican lawyer, a black nurse and the Angel of America. And Prior Walter has the future of the world in his hands. Read about Part One: Millennium Approaches here.

It is hard to recommend this production more highly, especially to those who have never experienced Angels with its wings fully extended.

Jason Blake | The Sydney Morning Herald

This production beautifully evokes all the comic sadness of humanity, but also, in a series of splendidly theatrical flourishes, all the magic that we dream of and the optimism for the future of our people and our planet that, maybe after 20 years, we still cling to.

John McCallum | The Australian

There is so much to savour and to love about this production…

Diana Simmonds | Stage Noise

…a rare, wonderful theatre experience.

Dee Jefferson | Time Out

Belvoir’s Angels is delicious, decadent and absolutely unmissable.

Benjamin Neutze | Aussie Theatre

If you only see one play this year, make it two. Angels in America…takes you past familiar experience and leaves you poised for something new and unforgettable.
