Angels in America first appeared on theatre stages in the early 1990s and immediately established itself as the most representative and, in the opinion of many, the best American play of the last decades. An explicitly gay play, its characters are predominantly gay men and their problems are gay problems – but only on the surface, just as AIDS is a disease that at first glance primarily threatens gay men and drug addicts. The problems of Kushner's characters are universal: he accurately captures a representative image of a world through a marginal group with a specific, acute problem. AIDS is thus merely a symptom, a crisis that sharpens the permanent crisis of our civilisation.
