“A vast, miraculous play…provocative, witty and deeply upsetting.” – Frank Rich, New York Times

“A victory for the theater, for the transforming power of the imagination to turn devastation into beauty.” – John Lahr, New Yorker

“Glorious. A monumental, serious, altogether remarkable masterwork.” – Linda Winer, Newsday

These are just a few of the superlatives that greeted the opening of this Pulitzer Prize and Tony award winning play nearly twenty five years ago. The AIDS epidemic and the age of Ronald Reagan provide the framework for this compelling story as people and society respond to the forces of change. Within the political and social upheaval of the era, the play presents an astounding view of relationships under extreme stress and the triumph of the human spirit.

The play is performed in two parts:

• full staging of Part One: Millennium Approaches
• companion reading of Part Two: Perestroika

Please be advised that both parts contain strong language along with mature sexual themes and may not be appropriate for those under 16.

Many of us have read and studied this play in High School or College Theatre and English classes but even that does not prepare you for the power of this piece. Kushner’s dialogue is intense, layered and often humorous as the characters find their way through the minefields of AIDs, Reagan politics and their own conflicting needs.

This new version, streamlined by Kushner in a 2014 production, is still a fantastic journey anchored by two couples. Prior is dealing with an AIDS infection as Louis, his lover, is struggling with his ability to be his caregiver as the disease progresses. Joe, a lawyer and republican, can’t reconcile his attraction to men with his Mormon faith, while his wife Harper fantasizes of another life while high on valium. The ability of these and other characters to adapt as the social and political landscape around them dramatically shifts provides the real power of the play.
