'Oh my queen you know you've hit rock bottom when even drag is a drag who are you? who are u what are you doing in my hallucination I'm not in your hallucination you are in my dream you're wearing makeup so are you but you are a guy [Screams] THE Hands and feet give it away' Great scene from one of the best plays and moves
It really is a damn shame that Harper and Pryor never met in the real world. In a strange way, I felt they needed each other, but in a grander scheme of things, I think it’s better because Harper was able to pursue her own life. And Pryor found an unexpected friend in Hannah.
How does he even do it? How does he reach so deep into himself to wring out so many modulations of emotions and project his voice at such volumes for hours on end? His stamina is staggering, to say nothing of his generosity.
i prefer renditions of this scene where prior and harper touch each other [more] especially given how intimate their cross-visions are and the fact that the two characters never meet again.
That's fair, although the characters do meet again. In real life, they meet at a Mormon centre and hallucinate together. Granted though, I don't think they remember eachother.
Actually, they meet a few more times in the two plays. They have a hallucinatory connection at the Mormon visitor center, and then Prior meets Harper on his way to Heaven. The two characters are also mirrors to each other in some ways. I don't know if it would make sense for the two characters to touch. But this production was also very stark and leaned heavily into the devastation and emotional violence of the play. I saw it on Broadway and I was deeply impressed. However, it did not really lean into the ornate fantasy of the original production. So in that sense, I'm not sure Harper and Prior physically touching too much would have made much sense in this director's vision of the plays. Whereas I think would work very well in another version that felt less spare.

When I saw this in London I cringed with almost every line he spoke. When does show transferred to Broadway I saw it again so I could see Beth Malone, and I was shocked with how much he changed in the role. he was a lot more reeled back and felt like an actual person. Try finding the bootlag of the Broadway production because I think you’d enjoy a lot more.
He said in an interview that he prepared for this role by watching RuPaul's Drag Race every Sunday with his friends... and that he hangs out with his gay friends so much that that makes him gay without actually having sex. So I think it's obvious there's a problem there.
@@joed180 Another problem is that in the script for Angels in America, Terrence McNally specifically wrote for all future actors playing prior to not listen if a director tells you to tone it down. That coupled with what you just said is a recipe for… Whatever Andrew did in London

@Apollo Bartel Do you have act 1, scene 8? Specifically the part where Harper confronts Joe and asks him if he's gay?
@@faithmchan1769 i uploaded it now!
@@apollobartel5870 Thank you so much!
I love this scene so much!!
the fact that this play is 8 hours is proof that Andrew Garfield is one of the best actors ever
How does he even do it? How does he reach so deep into himself to wring out so many modulations of emotions and project his voice at such volumes for hours on end? His stamina is staggering, to say nothing of his generosity.
Wait. I didn’t even think that was possible
@@marieantoinette5233 there’s a dinner break

Does anyone know where I can watch the full play on UA-cam?
One of the best scene 👌 ❤

Kind of ruined by Andrew Garfield's horrendous overacting.
When I saw this in London I cringed with almost every line he spoke.
