The Normal Heart

A powerful, stirring drama about the public and private indifference to the 1980’s AIDS epidemic and one man’s fight to awaken the world to the crisis, The Normal Heart was based on playwright, Larry Kramer’s real-life experience. Produced to acclaim in New York, London and Los Angeles, the play centers on Ned Weeks, a gay activist enraged at the indifference of public officials and the gay community. While trying to save the world from itself, Ned confronts the personal toll of AIDS when his lover dies of the disease. A heartfelt, sometimes funny and inspiring love story, it is a passionate polemic of how a small group of people helped change the world.
