I truly experienced every emotion through this play, hating parts of every character and yet praying for them, understanding the fundamental horror and yet finding the beauty. Kushners exploration of AIDS goes beyond just homophobia of the time; commenting upon race, religion, politics and gender and including simplistically poetic social commentaries which will stay with me for a long time. Watching the NT performance alongside this was also such a good idea- Andrew Garfield truly brings everything to Prior and the cast, set and costuming is all so perfect
