Goosebumps and godsends in Berkeley Rep’s ‘Angels in America’
Harrison radiates with a boyish, beaming countenance, and it is all the more rewarding knowing he’s dreamt of playing Prior since he read the play at*15*years old.*

When the mysterious Angel intrudes from the sky, all Heaven breaks loose! The forceful female Angel brings new meaning to erection and destruction, recruiting youthful Prior Walter (riotous, gripping Randy Harrison) as the Prophet for the Future.Beyond the superb and moving staging of rain, thunder, burials, rabbinical orations, and deathbed denials, we are enchanted with Prior Walter. Harrison creates an earthy Prior who deals with a diagnosis of AIDS in 1985. Prior rises. Prior embodies gay history in the cold-hearted Reagan years, as he struggles with disease and homophobia. We meet his ancient ancestors, Prior 1, a foul-mouthed medieval peasant (raunchy Danny Binstock), and Prior 2, an 18th Century fop (scrupulous Stephen Spinella), who hilariously pile into his bed, in a most fabulous dream.
