<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial">This
conclusion of Tony Kushner's award-winning epic of American theatre is a work
of stunning imagination, rich humor and profound feeling, and an elegy for the
age of AIDS. Published in 1993, it was also a prophetic vision of the America
we have become, and an early clarion call for change.</span></div>

boundary-breaking depiction of two relationships, one gay and one straight,
interweaves actual historical characters such as Roy Cohn and Ethel Rosenberg,
and creates a breathtakingly imaginative canvas for an America on the cusp of
profound change.</span></div>

hits it out of the park. As Roy Cohn, Alex Smith is superb. Whether he’s
cooing, bellowing, preening with confidence or writhing in pain from his own
case of AIDS, Smith nails moments with an immediacy and callous believability
that is mesmerizing.”</span></div>
