Tony Kushner's Angels in America II: Perestroikal continues the story of Prior Walter, newly HIV/AIDS symptomatic, had been deserted by his boyfriend, Louis, and visited by an Angel crashing through his ceiling. Louis, meanwhile, was punishing himself by sleeping with Joe Pitt, a closeted Mormon Republican lawyer with a Valium-addicted wife in psychotic limbo and a dour mother on her way from Salt Lake City.

Joe's mentor, the infamous Roy Cohn, was succumbing to an AIDS-related death attended by his nurse (and Prior's friend) Belize and the ghost of Ethel Rosenberg.

Angels in America, Part 2: Perestroika

Fortunately, the Pitt production has Robert C.T. Steele in the director's chair. Credit him with bringing more lucidity to Part 2 than I've ever seen in any other
production.

A deeply moving Elena Alexandratos and a magnificent Doug Mertz return from the Part 1 production to complement this all-new company of student actors --
all of whom get a big hand from me for their rock-solid commitment to this extraordinary play.
