The Normal Heart traces the story of one man who, while his friends are dying around him, strives to break through a conspiracy of silence, indifference and hostility from public officials and the gay community, and gain recognition for a virus that threatens to change everything.
This is the story of one nation under a plague, contaminated by greed, hate, and disease and host to transcendent acts of courage and kindness. The American People is a work of ribald satire, prophetic outrage, and dazzling imagination. It is an encyclopaedic indictment, written with outrageous love.
The Normal Heart, set during the early years of the AIDS epidemic, is the impassioned indictment of a society that allowed the plague to happen, a moving denunciation of the ignorance and fear that helped kill an entire generation. It has been produced and taught all over the world. Its companion play, The Destiny of Me, is the stirring story of an AIDS activist forced to put his life in the hands of the very doctor he has been denouncing. schovat popis
