Part One of "Angels in America", subtitled "Millennium Approaches", erupted on to the stage of the National Theatre in January 1992. Part Two, "Perestroika", followed in November 1993. Since then "Angels in America" has become one of the most studied American plays, with over 30,000 copies of both parts sold in the UK alone. It has also been filmed for television by Mike Nichols, with Al Pacino, Meryl Streep - and Emma Thompson as the eponymous Angel. Now, 15 years after that first production, and with Tony Kushner's latest play, "Caroline, or Change", still running - and winning prizes - at the National, both parts of "Angels in America" are available in a single volume. Parts One and Two will also stay in print in separate volumes.

Tony Kushner's plays include A Bright Room Called Day and Slavs!; as well as adaptations of Corneille's The Illusion, Ansky's The Dybbuk, Brecht's The Good Person of Szecguan and Goethe's Stella. Current projects include: Henry Box Brown or The Mirror of Slavery; and two musical plays: St. Cecilia or The Power of Music and Caroline or Change. His collaboration with Maurice Sendak on an American version of the children's opera, Brundibar, appeared in book form Fall 2003. Kushner grew up in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and he lives in New York.
Everyone envisions his/her heaven or hell in their own way. It’s the imagined place one craves for after life. But most of us are too eager to grab everything in this materialist world and show no concern about the afterlife. We can only be immortal in an invisible form. Maybe. Just like, Notre Dame Cathedral realizes its permanence in its ruins. (查看原文)
Because the soul is progressive,
it never quite repeats itself,
but in every act attempts the production
of a new and fairer whole.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson "On Art" (查看原文)

是迄今为止看过信息量最大的一部剧本了，笑点和泪点奇妙地混在一起，政治和personal affair交织的就有点神奇；越看越想知道加菲的prior会是什么样的呈现（感觉开会那一act不大懂，以后有了生活再看看吧

"You have to reconcile yourself to the world's unperfectibility by being thoroughly in the world but not of it." 读这个剧本的心情，从头到尾就是，丧（。
