Logo is proud to present an encore presentation of HBO's award-winning miniseries. Viewer discretion advised. Rated TV-MA,LS.
Academy Award-winners Al Pacino, Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson lead an all-star cast. Directed by Mike Nichols and written by Tony Kushner based on his Pulitzer Prize-winning play.
Textually similar but visually far more sweeping than the play, HBO's Angels in America is set in a world where fantasy and reality interact in the twilight before the new millennium.
Among the principal characters are Roy Cohn (Al Pacino), a fictionalized version of the conservative idealogue; Hannah Pitt (Meryl Streep); Joe Pitt, Hannah's son (Patrick Wilson); Joe's wife Harper (Mary-Louise Parker); Prior Walter (Justin Kirk), transformed; Prior's lover Louis (Ben Shenkman); Belize (Jeffrey Wright), a nurse who tends to Cohn and is a friend to Prior; a "messenger" Angel (Emma Thompson); and an assortment of real and imagined characters, many played by some of the above.
