“I usually say, ‘Fuck the truth,’ but mostly the truth fucks you,” says Prior Walter, a homosexual with AIDS in the mid-1980’s. His observation is right on the mark: The Dramat’s “Angels in America: Part 1=Millenium Approaches,” directed by Jonathan Silverstein, is the drama of people trying desperately to say “Fuck the truth,” but who get fucked by the pulverizing truth instead.

Eskimos in Antarctica?

There are no native people in Antarctica, it is the only continent with no native human population.

Is this intentional or ignorant?

The whole point is that she hallucinates Antarctic Eskimos. Even in the play they discuss the fact that this is barely even possible when addicted to valium.

GO SEE THE PLAY. IT'S FANTASTIC.

Oh, Anthony. Intentional. Very, very intentional.
