Angels In America [Sydney Mardi Gras 2019]
 

Apocalypse Theatre Company, in association with Red Line Productions at the Old Fitz Theatre, presents 

 

ANGELS IN AMERICA

  1. PT. I & II

by Tony Kushner

Directed by Dino Dimitriadis

 

“An unparalleled depiction of the modern American soul in all its striving, suffering, and chaotic contradiction.” - Vulture

 

 

2018 Sydney Theatre Award Winner for Best Director of an Independent Production, Dino Dimitriadis (Metamorphoses, Doubt) directs this Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning masterpiece.

Featuring an incredible ensemble cast of Joseph Althouse, Catherine Davies, Maggie Dence, Ben Gerrard, Jude Gibson, Ashley Lyons, Gus Murray and Timothy Wardell, Angels In America has been reimagined for the intimate confines of the Old Fitz Theatre as part of 2018 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.

 

Set in a turbulent New York City in the mid-1980s, the drama follows the interconnected lives of various New Yorkers affected by issues of the day including the conservative Reagan administration, AIDS, religious bigotry, angst about their sexuality - and miraculous spiritual visitations.

 

This fierce and astounding two-part drama is an epic exploration of politics, gay identity, and mythology, and a personal story of love and loyalty.

    Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
  • Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
