The Normal Heart at Alley Repertory Theater

Exploring the early days of an epidemic, and homophobia and prejudice around infectious disease, The Normal Heart by Larry Kramer pangs with poignant parallels and eerie echoes. 

Pulitzer-nominated, The Normal Heart is set in 1980s New York and explores the impact of the AIDS endemic in the early years.   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.  Based on Kramer's real-life experience, writer and activist Ned Weeks attempts to channel his anger at the systems in place while he fights to unite the gay community to talk about their rights to survive.
