STAGE TUBE: The Making of freeFall's THE NORMAL HEART - Part 3

Larry Kramer's unabashed indictment of the politics surrounding the early days of the AIDS epidemic debuted in 1985 and is no less surprising or powerful almost 30 years later. Set in New York City, The Normal Heart unfolds like a real-life political thriller as Ned Weeks and a close-knit group of friends shout into the darkness about what they see happening to their friends and community. This deeply moving play is part of freeFall's SEASON OF OUTCASTS, and plays through tomorrow, February 16. Scroll down to see Part 3 of The Making of freeFall's The Normal Heart!
