The Teatro dell’Elfo has decided to stage the script that in the history of Broadway has received the most nominations for the Tony Awards: Angels in America by Tony Kushner. The show, co-directed by Bruni and De Capitani, is a staging of the multi-awarded bestseller delving deep into the contradictions of America at the end of the millennium: an unsettling portrait of New York in the Eighties, so feverish and omnivorous, offering the ideal setting for the discrepancies of an era that casts its shadows to this very day, from the time it was led by Reagan to the America ruled by Trump.
