About the Show
Based on playwright Larry Kramer's own experiences founding the Gay Men's Health Crisis in New York in the 1980s, The Normal Heart follows Ned Weeks, a reluctant leader but furious activist, as he campaigns for awareness, and tends to his own friends and lovers who are dying all around him. The two-act play spans the years of 1981 to 1984, as Kramer tells the story of the public condescension and governmental intransigence that grassroots organizers faced while attempting to bring awareness of and promote funding for the rapidly-exacerbating AIDS crisis.
