Review: With a remarkable ‘Angels in America' from Invictus, off-Loop theater roars back in Chicago
The extraordinary Invictus Theatre Company summer production of Tony Kushner's 'Angels in America' is a throwback to the long-lost glory days of Chicago's non-Equity theater scene, a time when a lack of resources, let alone experience, did not prevent hungry companies of young artists from taking audacious risks on epic works. Director Charles Askenaizer's new multi-hour, rotating-repertory stagings of the constituent 'Millennium Approaches' and 'Perestroika' in the former Windy City Playhouse, amidst the auto repair shops on Irving Park Road, stand up well against director David Cromer's unforgettable off-Loop 1998 staging for The Journeymen. In the case of 'Millennium,' the better of the two productions here, it also compares well with the first national tour of 'Angels' that debuted at the Royal George Theatre — and blew everyone lucky enough to see it halfway to Salt Lake City. I'd go so far as to say this is the most powerful non-Equity production, all in all, I've seen since before the pandemic either wrecked or compromised so many of our small Chicago theater companies. Add in the fascination of experiencing Kushner's fin-de-siecle masterwork set mostly in New York, mostly in the time of AIDS, in the context of current geopolitical events, hitherto unanticipated, the chance to wrestle with the irony of the final hopeful moments of 'Peristroika' being intertwined with the coming of Glasnost (what could possible go wrong?) and a growing sense of American unity (what could possible go wrong?), and the brain gets so many fresh yet familiar stimuli that the hours pass by like minutes. That has a lot to do with Askenaizer's pacing, which moves the action expeditiously without sacrificing the work's inherent play for grandeur. Going in this weekend, and this took most of the weekend, I frankly had expected a pared-down staging, but that's absolutely not the vibe here, thanks to both the scale of the performances and the possibilities explored by the set designer Kevin Rolfs, who seems to have conceived the play as taking place in the rubble of American democracy, Kushner's Angel offering our one last hope. The lighting, from Brandon Wardell, is remarkably complex for this kind of space. As merely one example of some of his breathtaking cues, Wardell uses uplighting to sculpt Nicki Rossi, who plays said Angel with huge wings designed by Jessie Gowens, in such a way as to get you wondering whether she's a fever dream, the seat of judgement or merely an inert statue. The presence of God is a vital part of 'Angels' but you can never know if s/he is really there. You won't know here. But you must wonder. Casting is close to everything in 'Angels,' of course, and within a uniformly strong ensemble, I thought there were three performances that root the show and make sense of arcs and journeys that often get lost in productions of this play. One is from Anne Trodden, who plays Harper, a young Mormon woman betrayed by her closeted conservative husband, Joe. Not only does Trodden, who put me in mind of both Mary Louise Parker and Kate Fry, reflect this character's mental fragility without resorting to cliché, she builds a deeply vulnerable and empathetic character. Harper, you might know, takes a long and winding journey toward self-determined resolve, and you are with her here every step of the way. Joe Bushell's wound-tight Joe, a man who hath ever but slenderly known himself, matches her every step of the way, staying silent at the wrong times, raging when he should be listening. Yet he too remains empathetic. And then there's Ryan Hake as Prior Walter, the play's spiritual seeker and moral conscience. Prior offers up one of the year's great Chicago performances, deeply immersed in a character who has to withstand the irritating Louis (Grant Carriker, hyperarticulating as required) and confront the inadequacy of all humans, except perhaps the loving Belize (Miguel Long) and the redemptive Hannah (Renae Stone). As Roy Cohn, Michael D. Graham plunges some real depths. I lost a few of Roy's acerbic lines, as is occasionally true elsewhere, especially in 'Peristroika.' A few problems with textual articulation is the one correctable flaw here. But everything else is so raw and real, you might not notice or care. After years of watching these plays, I've come to think that some directors don't understand the importance not just of each scene but of how you get from one to the next, as imperfect humans barely in their 30s are forced to confront the reality of death without trusting religiosity. They're all in a constant crisis, which is easy to forget since they have so much to say. So they know that every new encounter with anyone or anything will bring either balm or fresh horrors. They never know which. It terrifies them. That understanding is what impressed me the most in Askenaizer's two productions this past weekend. The transitions are extraordinarily well staged and, well, what is life but a series of transitions? Review: 'Angels in America' (4 stars) When: Through Sept. 7 with 'Millennium Approaches' and 'Perestroika' in rotating repertory Where: Invictus Theatre Company at the Windy City Playhouse, 3014 W. Irving Park Road Running time: 3 hours, 30 minutes (each part) Tickets: $25-$38 (each part) at

Black Sabbath Hits No. 1 For The First Time
Black Sabbath earns its first No. 1 on one Billboard chart as 'Paranoid' tops the Hot Hard Rock ... More Songs list following the band's final concert in Birmingham. LOS ANGELES, CA - SEPTEMBER 24: Ozzy Osbourne of Black Sabbath performs at Ozzfest 2016 at San Manuel Amphitheater on September 24, 2016 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo byfor ABA) Black Sabbath said goodbye to fans around the world with a farewell concert held in Birmingham, England in early July. The group reformed in its classic lineup for one final show – an event that likely also marked the end of Ozzy Osbourne's performing career. Charts globally reflect the excitement and sadness drummed up by the performance, and in the United States, Black Sabbath scores a long-overdue hit, as the band manages to conquer a Billboard ranking for the very first time. Black Sabbath Lands a First No. 1 Black Sabbath launches 'Paranoid' at No. 1 on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart. The group earns not only its first No. 1 or even its first top 10, but its first appearance ever on the ranking of the most consumed hard rock tracks throughout the U.S. The tally was introduced many years after Black Sabbath's initial commercial heyday, but some longtime fans may still be surprised by the fact that it took until 2025 and the group's swan song for the rockers to appear anywhere on the list. 'Paranoid' Returns on Multiple Rankings 'Paranoid' also debuts on both the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Rock Songs charts at the same time. Coincidentally, it launches at No. 16, earning Black Sabbath just its second-ever hit. More than a decade ago, in 2013, 'God Is Dead?' arrived and spent a very short stint on the consumption-based rankings. Hard Rock Classic Hits the Sales and Streaming Tallies The same single, which is regarded as perhaps Black Sabbath's most famous and one of the most highly-regarded hard rock tunes in history, returns to both the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales and Hard Rock Streaming Songs charts simultaneously. 'Paranoid' reenters those tallies at Nos. 5 and 10, respectively. Those positions mark high points that 'Paranoid' has reached in the past, and the composition returns to them as interest in the band's music surges. A Classic Album Climbs Once Again 'Paranoid' served as the lead single from Black Sabbath's second studio album of the same name, which arrived in 1970. As the smash hit debuts and returns to several rosters, Paranoid the collection reappears on the Top Hard Rock Albums tally this week, breaking back in at No. 16. That slot serves as a never-before-seen high for the bestselling release.

Who is Love Island's Angel? A reminder of her age, background and more as she gets closer to Harry
Love Island delivered another twist this week with a late addition bombshell: Angel Swift. Debuting on Friday 18 July, Angel made her first appearance during a rodeo-themed party (making us feel for the Love Islanders who couldn't get Cowboy Carter tickets bc they were already in Mallorca, tbh). Anyway, quickly after arriving, the 26-year-old caught Harry's eye, and there was some *very flirtatious* chat involving heavy eye contact and talk of spooning. Keep in mind that Harry is currently coupled up with Helena, and has been chatting to his ex Emma saying he'll "always" love On the other hand, she has said she has her eye on Ty, who is coupled up with Lauren. As all that drama unfolds, here's your cheat sheet on who Angel is: from her age to her occupation and whether she knows anyone already in the villa. Job: Aesthetics Practitioner and Salon Owner From: Maidstone, Kent Angel owns a salon called AngelFace, which offers a bunch of different services including waxing, hair extensions, microneedling and dermaplaning. Age: 26 Angel is 26 years old, celebrating her birthday on 1 February with a cheeky post that said "Happy National Angel Day 🎂". She is an Aquarius and according to Cosmo's Horoscope writer, they're "Not one for 'going with the flow', Aquarians make their own mind up and then stick to it. You can not cajole or persuade them from their viewpoint, unless you've got *evidence* i.e. data, facts, peer-reviewed analysis." Ahead of entering the villa, Angel has spoken about her position as a bombshell entering into the show while many of the Islanders are already coupled up. "Breaking up another couple? That is what's going to happen, so it's quite exciting really," she said. "I feel like people have been getting their heads turned very easily. I do feel like I have quite a good chance of turning someone's head." After being single for a year, she has said she's ready to find something serious. "It's an amazing opportunity to make new connections and have new experiences. I'm ready to make memories with someone, go travelling with them and fall in love," she said. You betcha! Angel has a hefty 124,000 IG followers and over 6000 TikTok followers. Her IG followers include Love Island alum, with former contestants Liberty Poole and Harriet Blackmore all commenting on Angel's announcement post. New episodes of Love Island air on weekdays and Sundays at 9pm on ITV2.
