Set in 1980s New York City, Angels in America follows the intersecting stories of Prior Walter and his partner Louis Ironson, the closeted Mormon lawyer Joe Pitt and his agoraphobic wife Harper, and the notorious lawyer Roy Cohn. Their stories are blended together through realism and fantasy against the backdrop of the AIDS crisis, Reagan-era politics and religion.
