New York during the eighties, the Reagan years. A mosaic of stories about people struggling with love, sexuality and the disastrous consequences of AIDS. Louis deserts his friend Prior, who is terminally ill. The marriage of Joe and Harper Pitt falls apart. The right-wing lawyer Roy Cohn discovers that neither power nor money will protect him from death.

In Part One: Millennium Approaches, lives begin to fracture as illness, politics, and fear pull people away from their families, partners, and faith. In Part Two: Perestroika, the world cracks open, and new bonds form as the characters struggle toward healing, forgiveness, and change.

Angels in America is in two parts: Millennium Approaches and Perestroika and will be presented on alternating evenings in rep. Directed by Rec Room Artistic Director Matt Hune and Associate Artistic Director Sophia Watt (Heroes of the Fourth Turning).

Angels in America

Rec Room

The earth is barren. The sea stands still. There is less and less of anything here. In the shelter, blind despot Hamm (who can’t stand up) lords over his weary attendant Clov (who can’t sit down), each dependent on the other. Hamm’s legless parents Nagg and Nell slowly expire in adjacent trash bins, confined there by their son. Day after punishing day, Hamm steers Clov through a series of senseless, circular routines in impotent defiance of a predetermined outcome. With each reminder of the death that awaits him outside, Clov inches nearer to the exit.

Endgame

MATCH - Midtown Arts and Theater Center Houston

Toro is back in Madrid hanging out with his high school friends, Juan and Andrea (and Juan’s dying golden retriever, Tica). They spend their weekends exactly like they used to: chain-smoking pitis in Juan’s garage, listening to Juan’s latest DJ mix, and going out to pijo clubs around Madrid. But something’s not quite right. As sexual tensions emerge and old power dynamics get challenged, these third-culture-kids struggle to grow up, take responsibility, and find a version of reality to believe in.
