Angels in America

About

This production of Tony Kushner's "Angels in America" is a significant installment in the New National Theatre, Tokyo's "Full Audition Project." This initiative features plays where the entire cast is selected through an open audition process, aiming to discover new talent and provide a fresh perspective on classic works. Directed by Kamimura Satoshi, this marks his second contribution to the project series. The staging features a brand-new Japanese translation by Odashima Soshi. The production presents both Part I (Millennium Approaches) and Part II (Perestroika) concurrently over a two-month run. The choice of this 20th-century classic reflects the project's commitment to tackling complex, large-scale theatrical works with a dedicated ensemble cast.
