Critics reaction to "Angels In America Part One: Millenium Approaches"
"A vast miraculous play...provocative, witty and deeply upsetting...a searching and radical rethinking of American political drama..." Frank Rich, New York Times "Something rare, dangerous and harrowing...a roman candle hurled into a drawing room..." Nicholas de Jongh, London Evening Standard "An epic theatrical fever dream...a three-hour cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more." Variety "A victory for theater, for the transforming power of the imagination to turn devastation into beauty." John Lahr, New Yorker "Establishes Kushner as a poet and moral visionary in love with the theater yet awake in the world." Don Shewey, Village Voice
