About this audiobook
Presenting an original audiobook performance of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play, starring the cast of the National Theatre's 2018 Broadway revival.
In this production, adapted especially for the listening experience, Andrew Garfield, Nathan Lane, and the entire cast recreate their acclaimed performances from the 2018 Tony Award-winning National Theatre revival of Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes. With narration by Bobby Cannavale and Edie Falco, and a musical score by Adrian Sutton, this audiobook is a compelling and immersive theatrical listening experience.
A play in two parts, "Millennium Approaches" and "Perestroika", Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes is a complex and insightful look into identity, community, justice, and redemption.
New Yorkers grapple with life and death, love and sex, and heaven and hell as the AIDS crisis intensifies during a time of political reaction — the Reagan Republican counterrevolution of the 1980s.
Published to celebrate the Broadway revival, this is a unique opportunity to hear one of the most honored and timeless plays in American history.
Full cast:
- Andrew Garfield as Prior Walter
- Nathan Lane as Roy M. Cohn
- Susan Brown as Hannah Pitt
- Denise Gough as Harper Pitt
- Beth Malone as The Angel
- James McArdle as Louis Ironson
- Lee Pace as Joseph Pitt
- Nathan Stewart-Jarrett as Belize
With narration by:
- Bobby Cannavale ("Millennium Approaches")
- Edie Falco ("Perestroika")
Based on the National Theatre production, directed by Marianne Elliott.
Music by Adrian Sutton.
