Larry Kramer's "The Normal Heart"

 

A searing drama about public and private indifference to the AIDS plague and one man’s
lonely fight to awaken the world to the crisis. Produced to acclaim in New York, London
and Los Angeles, THE NORMAL HEART unfolds like a real-life political thriller following
Ned Weeks, a gay activist enraged at the indifference of public officials and the
gay community and his tight-knit group of friends as they refuse to let doctors,
politicians and the press bury the truth of this unspoken epidemic behind a wall of silence. While trying to save the world from itself, he confronts the very personal toll of AIDS
on those closest to him in its early days in New York City.

A quarter-century after it was written, this outrageous, unflinching, and
totally unforgettable look at sexual politics during the early 1980’s remains
one of the theatre’s most powerful evenings ever.
