Set in the 1980s, the Reagan years, Prior Walter, a gay New Yorker is visited by an angel. We are reintroduced to the characters from part one of Kushner’s Pulitzer Prize winning play as they grapple with heaven and hell, love and sex and death. Both tragic and brilliantly funny, it raises the question: Who are the real angels in a disparate world?
