Synopsis

Winner of the 1994 Tony Award for Best Play.

In the second part of Tony Kushner's epic, the plague of AIDS worsens, relationships fall apart as new ones form, and unexpected friendships take form.

"PERESTROIKA is not only a stunning resolution of the rending human drama of MILLENIUM APPROACHES, but also a true millennial work of art, uplifting, hugely comic and pantheistically religious in a very American style."

—Frank Rich, New York Times "Playful and profound, extravagantly theatrical and deeply spiritual, witty and compassionate, furious and incredibly smart … It's impossible to imagine anyone captivated by the beginning not wanting — needing — to go back for the end."

—Linda Winer, Newsday "ANGELS IN AMERICA is a monumental achievement, the work of a defiantly theatrical imagination that has no parallel on television or in the movies.

It ennobles Broadway as no other work in recent memory has."

—Jeremy Gerard, Variety "Not since Tennessee Williams has a playwright announced his poetic vision with such authority on the Broadway stage … PERESTROIKA is a masterpiece."

—John Lahr, New Yorker
