Tony Kushner’s groundbreaking Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches is a profound exploration of love, identity, and politics set against the backdrop of the 1980s AIDS epidemic. This piece follows the intertwining lives of diverse characters grappling with illness, including the infamous politician Roy Cohn. Still poignant today, Angels in America reflects on how politics can directly and indirectly impact individuals, families, and communities forever.
