Look up! Look up! Prepare the way...The Messenger is coming!
The complex story is a "slice of life" (and love, and death) among gay and straight characters in the politically-charged mid 1980's during which the AIDS epidemic became a fact of life.
The play examines the relevancy of religion and spirituality at a time of crisis, highlighted by the appearance of a combative angel to a man in the end stages of AIDS, proclaiming him an unwilling prophet.
The play also includes the plight of a Mormon attorney realizing his marriage is a lie, the politics of healthcare during the Reagan era, a gay man's decision to leave his HIV-infected lover, and a conservative attorney who is used to "beating the system" finding a fight he can't win. |
