Rev. Ed Bacon Set for THE NORMAL HEART Talkback at Fountain Theatre, 10/11
Rev. Ed Bacon of the All Saints Churchwill host an audience talk-back immediately following the 8 p.m. performance of The Normal Heart on Friday, Oct. 11 at the Fountain Theatre.
The Normal Heart is Larry Kramer's groundbreaking drama about public and private indifference to the onset of the AIDS crisis, and one man's fight to awaken the world to its urgency. The title of the play is taken from a line in a poem by W.H. Auden: "We must love one another or die.""We have invited Rev. Bacon to talk about the important issues dramatized in the play, including gay rights, the continuing AIDS crisis, same-sex marriage equality and the importance of social activism," says Fountain artistic director and producer Stephen Sachs, who will moderate the discussion.In 2000, The Normal Heart was named "one of the 100 greatest plays of the 20th century" by the Royal National Theatre of Great Britain. The Fountain Theatre's exclusive L.A. revival, the first time the play has been seen in Los Angeles in over 16 years, has been receiving rave reviews ("Critic' Pick" - BroadwayWorld, "Pick of the Week" - LA Weekly, "A Must See" - EDGE) and playing to sold out houses since it opened in September.
