How Plays Work: Angels in America by Tony Kushner
I recently saw Marianne Elliott's production of Angels in America by Tony Kushner as part of the NTLive broadcast from the National Theatre. Both Part One: Millenium Approaches and Part Two: Perestroika totally captivated me and, as such, I wanted to do a video essay reflecting on it.
Particularly here, I look to explore how we can read Angels in America as a piece of Epic Theatre, the term used by Brecht and Piscator to conceive of a new form of political theatre.
My hope is that, if you are a playwright or other form of writer you might be able to go away with some new tools but, equally, if you are an audience member, that you might be able to develop a deeper understanding of Tony Kushner's Angels in America as a play.
If you've enjoyed this video then please do check out the rest of my channel. I generally put out new videos every Tuesday and Friday discussing theatre and playwriting from the perspective of an aspirant and (some might say) emerging playwright, theatre maker and academic.
