Recensione
Angels in America is 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's a pretty funny play too. How we still need it! It ranks as nothing less than one of the greatest plays of the twentieth century. --John Heilpern, New York Observer
The play has never left our cultural consciousness. It is performed regularly in schools and local theaters; it is on the syllabuses of university English and drama classes, and the star-filled 2003 HBO adaptation, directed by Mike Nichols, is in many a home-video library...What Angels does as well as any play I know is create a visceral sense of public and private catastrophes as prisms of one another...The received wisdom about Mr. Kushner is that he is a great playwright. This production reminds us that he is also a good one, which as far as satisfying nights at the theater are concerned, may be more important. --New York Times on the 2010 Signature Theatre Company revival
