In the mid-1980s, the United States was under Reagan's conservative regime and was experiencing the AIDS crisis. "Angels in America" tells the story of a group of New Yorkers wandering between life and death, love and sex, heaven and hell, struggling to survive and fight against the backdrop of this society. Tony Kushner's "Angels in America" is arguably one of the most important plays of the past few decades. The play is divided into two parts, lasting over seven hours, and premiered at the National Theatre in London from 1992 to 1993, winning multiple awards including the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The play is both interesting and touching, sharp and deeply insightful, exploring themes such as love, pain, illness, death, faith, and politics in imaginative ways, and it remains thought-provoking even 25 years later.
