Recommended viewing: Angels in America


For Australians with access to digital television, the ABC is showing the Angels in American miniseries again on ABC2, tonight (November 29th) at 9.30pm. If you've never seen it before, I highly recommend it.

Set in 1980s New York, it deals with the political, social, psychological/spiritual impact of the AIDS epidemic on the gay community. The play won a Tony and the miniseries won an Emmy.

In my opinion, it's a modern classic, up there with Death of a Salesman.

(UPDATE: Erk informs me that it can also be seen via Foxtel, as Foxtel re-broadcasts ABC2)

If people have Foxtel, they should be able to see this program as Foxtel has ABC2 as well.
