“An epic theatrical fever dream … a three-hour cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more.” ⁠—⁠Variety

New York in the mid-1980s. In the midst of the AIDS crisis and a conservative Reagan administration, five New Yorkers with interconnected lives grapple with life and death, love and sex, heaven and hell. In the first part of Tony Kushner’s epic, we are faced with the story of two troubled couples, one gay, one straight: Louis Ironson and his lover Prior Walter, and Mormon lawyer Joe Pitt and his agoraphobic, Mormon housewife Harper.
