Cohn was so universally despised that when an adversary discovered that the hard-line homophobe was dying of an Aids-related cancer hj was heard to obsjrvj: "Well, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy." ——————————————————————————————————1/6—— bz Phil Penfold Yakity Yak Interactive Talkback p204P452 Teletext 452 Jun20 02:54:37 THEATRE PROFILE —————————————— ———————————— ANGELS IN AMERICA, The Crucible Thjatte Sheffield 0114 249 6000 This is not simply a play about the Aids menace. It is about the approach of the Millennium and the change of societies. When it was first produced at the National in 1:91, the resonance of Angels was almost solely about what had happened in the '80s. In this stunning revival — the first in nine years — it appears that we are looking forward instead of back. ——————————————————————————————————2/6—— Theatres near you 456 FULL GUIDE TO NATIONAL EVENTS p441P452 Teletext 452 Jun20 02:14:54 THEATRE PROFILE —————————————— ———————————— ANGELS IN AMERICA, The Crucible Thjatte Sheffield 0114 249 6000 Louis Ironson is having a crisis of conscience.
