The Angels miniseries is fantastic. The screenplay was adapted by Kushner himself, and it stars, among others, Meryl Streep, Al Pacino and Emma Thompson. And, though I don't know the actors' names, Prior and Louis are particularly good as well. It won about a bazillion Emmys, but you might not have heard about it as it was on HBO, and plenty of people don't get HBO. I didn't until very recently (and not at school. *pout*). The DVD's were just released a couple weeks ago, so Angels fever might be picking up again as more people are able to see it. It's really a fantastic series (though I've only seen Millenium, not Perestroika, stupid schedule), though really not the same as seeing it live on stage. [/theatre eletism]
Emma Thompson is, as always, brilliant in all her roles (most of the double casting in the play is carried through here). There's some really fantastic stylistic things going on as well, but I'm usually the only one who notices these things, as I'm a whore for stylism. But yeah, definately worth a look. ;)
