Tony Kushner, the play's author, establishes the universality of issues that both couples endure and the themes of a nation whose social policy begins to take a radical turn. Keeping true to Kusher's original vision, Waterman Theatre's set and design are minimal, pulling the viewer deeper into the inner struggle of the characters and the sharp dialogue. Portraying the dark nature of this play, the theatre canvas will be of only black, white and gray. The grayscale tones are to dramatize the struggles of good versus evil and the disparity of the characters. Special effects designed for the show are sure to delight audience members, notably the Angel as she descends from the heavens.
Characters appear as hallucinations romping through the stage during drug induced highs.
Angels will be the finale for several Oswego State students. The Friday, April 27th performance is reserved for participants of the 42nd Annual Drama Festival. Tickets for Angels in America are currently on sale at the Tyler Hall Box Office. All major credit cards are accepted. Persons with disabilities needing assistance to this event should call Kelly Cullinan at 312-3097 in advance of the show.
