Angels in America

Angels in America is A Gay Fantasia on National Themes is a two-part play by American playwright Tony Kushner. Part one of the play premiered in 1991 and its Broadway opening was in 1993. The play is a complex, often metaphorical, and at times symbolic examination of AIDS and homosexuality in America in the 1980s. The characters are going to wear the 1900 clothes.  

This is the 3 character I have chosen.


Prior Walter is A gay man with AIDS. Throughout the play, he experiences various heavenly visions. When the play begins, he is dating Louis Ironson. His best friend is a nurse named Belize. 

Louis Ironson – Prior's boyfriend. Unable to deal with Prior's disease, he ultimately abandons him. He meets Joe Pitt and later begins a relationship with him.

Joe Pitt – Harper's husband and a deeply closeted gay Mormon, a clerk at the U.S. Court of Appeals, Second Circuit, and friend of Roy Cohn. Joe eventually abandons his wife for a relationship with Louis. Throughout the play, he struggles with his sexual identity.
