| It's interesting you say that. I agree that the two plays are meant to be shown in repertory, but in development and original presentation they were two separate plays. Millennium Approaches had a year-long run at the National Theatre in London while Perestroika was all the way in Los Angeles, still under development. It didn't run in London until a full year later, and wasn't nominated at the Oliviers until 2 years after Millennium Approaches had been nominated. Even in the original Broadway mounting, the two parts began performances a full six months apart from each other, in two different seasons. The Pulitzer Prize was distinctly awarded to Millennium Approaches in 1993 and Perestroika was not nominated in 1994. The Tony nominations and wins shook out differently in each season. Because of this, IBDB lists each part separately. I would consider The Norman Conquests, Nicholas Nickleby, The Coast of Utopia, Wolf Hall, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, The Inheritance to be single plays in multiple parts. I would consider Angels in America to be two plays meant to be shown in repertory, as in the revival where both parts began previews and opened in tandem and were considered one piece in nominations that season. |
