Review:

"A vast, miraculous play...provocative, witty and deeply upsetting...a searching and radical rethinking of American political drama." Frank Rich, The New York Times

Review:

"Angels in America is the broadest, deepest, most searching American play of our time." Jack Kroll, Newsweek

Review:

"Angels in America is the finest drama of our time, speaking to us of an entire era of life and death as no other play within memory....It ranks as nothing less than one of the greatest plays of the twentieth century." John Heilpern, New York Observer

Review:

"Something rare, dangerous and harrowing...a roman candle hurled into a drawing room..." Nicholas de Jongh, London Evening Standard

Review:

"Playful and profound, extravagantly theatrical and deeply spiritual, witty, and compassionate, furious and incredibly smart....It's impossible to imagine anyone captivated by the beginning not wanting — needing — to go back for the end." Linda Winer, Newsday

Review:

"An enormously impressive work of the imagination and intellect, a towering example of what theatre stretched to its full potential can achieve." Clifford A. Ridley, Philadelphia Inquirer

Review:

"Perestroika is a masterpiece." John Lahr, The New Yorker
