Angels in America is a TV miniseries directed by Mike Nichols, based on a Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning play written by Tony Kushner. It is set in 6 roughly hour long episodes, which, like the original play is presented in two parts, Millennium Approaches and Perestroika, each of which is three episodes long. It was originally released by HBO in December 7 –December 14, 2003.The play is set in New York City from the fall of 1985 into spring of 1986, during the rise of AIDS awareness, and focuses on an enormous variety of topics, from politics to religion to dysfunctional families. The main story line follows a young gay man named Prior Walter, who has just discovered he is HIV-positive. After subsequently being abandoned by his lover Louis, he receives a vision from Heaven, in which an Angel visits him. She tells him that Heaven once was a paradise, but that human progress creates "earthquakes" in Heaven and after a particularly severe one, God abandoned them. She compels him to go out into the world and tell his fellow humans to stop moving forward, so that God may return.The Mini Series stars Justin Kirk, Ben Shenkman, Emma Thompson, Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, Mary-Louise Parker, Patrick Wilson, and original cast member Jeffrey Wright. It went on to surpass Roots for most Emmys won by a program in a single year.This play also has a character sheet.Trope examples include:
