The Normal Heart

The Normal Heart





Larry Kramer's powerful, passionate and controversial play was the first to treat seriously the poignant and devastasting subject of AIDS.


Story:

The Normal Heart centers on Ned Weeks, a gay writer who finds himself at the forefront of the fight against AIDS at a time when the disease was so terrifyingly, new it didn’t even have a name. As more and more of his friends fall ill, Ned does his best to rally support for the cause all while finding love with his own partner, Felix, and raging against institutions of media, medicine and government that seem determined to ignore him.
