There is something very satisfying about spending seven hours in the company of the same characters, particularly when they are as rich as Tony Kushner’s are in this epic play. Set in the US in the mid-1980s, as Reagan began his second term of office and Aids devastated the gay community, this memorable and wildly imaginative drama in two parts boasts fine performances from Andrew Garfield, Denise Gough and Nathan Lane as it charts US history and asks how we can make a better future for all.
