Angels in America

First off, I read the preliminary material for the play as well as the play itself.  As in I read how the parts in the play break down and who acts them.  Afterward, I just thought that this play seems to put a pretty heavy load onto the actors within it.  Most of the actors would be doing at least 2 if not three or four different characters all with different speech patterns and dialects.  This is not neccessarily a bad thing.  It would just mean that you would need a whole cast of some decently versatile and experienced actors.  Other than that, I really liked the humor throughout the play, but I was hoping that the humor amount would continue throughout it.  I understand why it didn't, given that the play tackles a lot of serious issues with AIDS, death, sexual identification, love, heart break, etc.  I was also confused as to whether or not one of the messages in this play was that all males are inheritely homosexual. Over all I really did like the play.  Though some of the scenes between Joe and Harper did seem less interesting than most of the others to me, but I think thats just because some of their dialog seemed more conventional when compared to the tone of the rest of the play (the parts I'm refering to are of course the ones that don't include Mr. Liar or Harpers seemingly random topic changes, both of which I loved).  It was also hard for me to visualize the scene where Louis and Prior were talking in the hospital and Joe and Harper were talking in their home, but both conversations were happening at exactly the same time with a lot of dialog jumping around.  But on the other hand, I think it would be great to see that performed properly.
