Considered to be one of the most important plays of the late Twentieth Century, Angels in America is a Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning drama. Jack Kroll of Newsweek said that it was “the broadest, deepest, most searching American play of our time.” It is epic in scope and personal in its impact. *Contains language and situations which some may find objectionable.*
This classic American drama from one the world’s leading playwrights takes place over a twenty-four hour period in the days just following World War II.
Set in the Midwest, the story painfully depicts the struggle of a tight-knit family’s attempt to cope with the loss of their son while fighting in the conflict overseas as well as the father’s possible culpability in some surreptitious war profiteering that ended with disastrous results.
Sixty years after its original production on Broadway, All My Sons still hits the bullseye in its unflinching depiction of honor, responsibility and ethics during a time of war.
