Synopsis
Now a major HBO film starring Mark Ruffalo, Matt Bomer, Taylor Kitsch and Julia Roberts.
It's 1981 and young men are dying in increasing numbers. No one wants to know about it or help. A few gay men, led by the uncompromising and impassioned journalist Ned Weeks, try to break through a conspiracy of silence, indifference and hostility from public officials and the gay community to gain recognition for a disease that threatens to change everything.
The story of a city in denial, The Normal Heart unfolds like a real-life political thriller as a tight-knit group of friends refuses to let doctors, politicians and the press bury the truth of an unacknowledged epidemic behind a wall of silence.
A quarter of a century after it was written, this brave, unflinching, and totally unforgettable look at the sexual politics of New York during the AIDS crisis remains one of the theatre's most powerful evenings ever.

The Normal Heart (NHB Modern Plays)
Seller: Chapter Two Books, Ammanford, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Very Good. The Normal Heart by Larry Kramer is a fierce, emotionally charged drama set in New York at the height of the early AIDS crisis, following activist Ned Weeks as he fights for recognition, resources and urgency while the epidemic devastates his community. Kramerās play blends personal anguish with political confrontation, showing how fear, stigma and institutional indifference compounded the tragedy. The relationships at the centre of the story, romantic, familial and within the activist circle, reveal both the fractures and the solidarity born under extreme pressure. It remains a landmark work of modern theatre, uncompromising in its demand for compassion, action and accountability. Seller Inventory # mon0001653375
