The Normal Heart by Larry Kramer

The Normal Heart by Larry Kramer

Larry Kramer's ground-breaking play about the 1980s AIDS crisis, published in a new edition alongside the major National Theatre revival in 2021.

'Burning, argumentative, witty and contentious play about the political and emotional consequences of the AIDS crisis'

* Observer *

'Informative, heart-rending, witty, revelatory, poleaxing, a work of utter topicality and transcendent power'

* The Listener *

'An epic piece of reportage'

* The Times *

'[A] shattering evening of theatre'

* Whatsonstage *

'A glorious, wrenching watch.. It's a talky play from an era when things weren't talked about, with a rock-solid emotional core and a leavening seam of dark humour. It's terribly, terribly moving'

* Evening Standard *

'Other plays about the period would follow... But they stood on the shoulders of this one. It demands our consideration'

* Telegraph *

'Captures the terror, fear, shame and fury of the moment... Kramer's play is living history, written without the benefit of hindsight, and it remains undimmed by time'

* The Stage *
