This captures the sense of dread and hope that the play embodied. You don't get that sense with the original art with the two male angels, more is the pity, since it does deal with a lot of the rage the male gay community leveled at itself and others during that time. I do wish, however, that the requesite wings would be on one of the figures as it otherwise could be mistaken for a pre-production sketch for something like "Sin City" or a sequel to it. Otherwise, I love the sense of vulnerability and drama set against a familiar cityscape. Bravo!
