Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes

"Mary: This book points to the lasting influence, throughout the whole history of audiobooks, of drama as audio. Like the recordings BBC Radio release of theatrical works, this type of performance has been there from the get-go, as Robin noted. Angels in America builds on that tradition of how audiobooks can bring stage plays into your home through the audio experience. Angels in America was a landmark, Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, and having it available on audio for everyone to experience in a different way—but in the out loud fashion that it was written for—is really important. We all know it’s different to read Shakespeare than to see Shakespeare, here you’re adding in hearing Shakespeare as a whole other level. That’s what you get with Angels in America, in my opinion. Robin: And we should add that while Angels in America was a finalist for Audiobook of the Year, it won in the Audie Awards 2020 Audio Drama category."
