Marking the 25th Anniversary of Tony Kushner’s Tony Award-winning drama, Marianne Elliott’s (War Horse) revival is an important reminder of just how much attitudes towards homosexuality have altered since 1985, when the play is set. In the midst of the AIDS crisis and a conservative Reagan administration, New Yorkers (Andrew Garfield, Nathan Lane) grapple with life and death, love and sex, heaven and hell.
“A fascinating piece, historically and theatrically…Kushner’s play perfectly captures the lonely, hallucinatory nature of city life, with little scenarios enacted in isolated boxes, gliding but never colliding.” Daily Mail
