Tony Kushner’s Pulitzer Prize-winning work received 11 American theatre nominations – including Best Revival of a Play.
Now playing in New York City, the gay fantasia on national themes was revived at the National Theatre in London last year, later moving to Broadway.
Angels in America follows the lives of a group of New Yorkers as they grapple with life and death, love and sex and heaven and hell against the backdrop of the AIDS crisis in Reagan America in the mid-1980s.
The cast includes Andrew Garfield, Nathan Lane, Denise Gough and James McArdle.
