Angels in America Part One: Millennium Approaches
Darlene Van Alstyne and Danica Jensen in Angels in America. Over 30 years since Angels in America was first performed, the play’s themes still resonate, not just for its historical depiction of AIDS in America during the conservative and homophobic Reagan administration, but for how it reflects the country now since Trump has largely taken control of the Republican Party turning the questions proposed in the play into what now feels like prophecy.
