Assignment:

One of the most challenging and fascinating moments in ANGELS IN AMERICA is the spectacle of the Angel visiting Prior Walter throughout the play. It's a heavy play, 6 hours long total, and can be very wordy at times. But the fantastical elements somehow give it just enough action to keep the audience engaged. I've attached 3 links below, each featuring a video from a different production of Angels in America and focusing on scenes featuring the angel. Pay close attention to the technical elements of each clip and how the directors and designers strive to achieve this spectacle. Then answer the following in 5 to 8 sentences.

What do you see, hear, and feel during each scene?
What are your thoughts about each version? What do you like and dislike.
Which do you prefer and why?
Compare and contrast these three productions. How do they go about achieving this spectacle in similar ways and different ways?
Which do you find more effective and why do you think that is?

. A scene from the HBO Mini Series with Emma Thompson as the Angel
