My notes



 This is a recode made for another index and presented here as part of

my new index restoration of file shared torrents.



 In 2003 Mike Nichols made a version of the play for television.  In that teleplay

the acts are called chapters.  I don't know if those names were ever used for

the play but for reference, they are; Chapter One "Bad News" Chapter Two "In Vitro and

chapter Three is called "The Messenger."



 This is another example of how live theatre excels over film treatments

of the same play.  I'll not saying too much about it since the description "epic"

should rightly be reserved for a work of this type:  The original encodes

screen captures (or "capped" from broadcast) are not mine.  I thank the

original uploader for them.  And again here I have taken a much larger file and

made Angels in America at NTLive smaller for easy access.  Many of the players

are new to me but Denise Gough was seen in the Duchess of Malfi for the Globe.

Nathan Lane has been a Broadway stalwart for many years.



 The subtitles are inconsistent with some having English only like the

Introduction and others having English and Swedish from the original file content.



 For this reason I have put the acts in separate folders. The important thing

in all the plays I file share is to make them accessible to more viewers.

Additional subtitles can be added.  A text file called How To Add More Subs

is included.  However subtitle translators may be inaccurate which is unavoidable.
