Set in the early 1980s, The Normal Heart is 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. Originally produced off Broadway in 1985, the play was revived on Broadway in 2011 to great acclaim and winning three Tony Awards. The Normal Heart follows the story of Ned Weeks, a gay activist desperately trying to save the world from itself when suddenly he is forced to confront the personal toll of the AIDS epidemic.
