Angels In America Part Ii: Perestroika
Reviews for Angels In America Part Ii: Perestroika
In this new production of Perestroika, the actors reprising their roles from Millennium Approaches have honed their performances, all of them improved. (Which is saying something: they were all splendid last year.)
Joe MacDougall accomplishes the impossible by giving full humanity to Roy Cohn, who in real life seemed soulless. In a lesser actor’s hands the character would be little more than a hissing, snarling creature. But MacDougall creates a character so fully formed that Cohn’s hideous nature and evil core isn’t something supernatural, but rather chillingly human, which makes it part of the mortal world and all the more frightening.
Drake’s direction is a large part of why this performance had audience members in tears and inspired them to give a rousing standing ovation with more shouts of “bravo!” than I think I’ve ever heard. He brings magic, freshness, and discovery to a play that is, let us not forget, three and three-quarters hours long—time that passes quickly thanks to his sense of timing. (The audience is warned about the length, with Drake quipping, “And after that… we serve breakfast!)
