Angel in America by Tony Kushner
1. Theme
The theme in this play are about community and identity, where in this story almost show about religious, sexuality and politic. Community refers both to personal bonds between individuals and the political bonds we might call democratic citizenship. In simplified form, the plot of Angels in America focuses on the fact that both kinds of community are destroyed and then recreated. And also another theme is the necessity for people to change, the scariness of change, while most of us would prefer to just let things stay as they are. That's what Louis Ironson wants and makes him run away from his sick lover, and also the Angel wants.
