The Normal Heart

Sooo many good things to tell this week! But first I want to tell you about a play I saw called "The Normal Heart". 



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 unspoken epidemic behind a wall of silence. A quarter-century after it was written, this outrageous, 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. It has received five Tony nominations, including Best Revival of a Play and Best Director for Joel Grey and George C. Wolfe. (source: www.thenormalheartbroadway.com)

It is one of the most amazing plays I have ever seen. Incredibly moving! It makes you realize how people suffered and is still suffering from AIDS and the many obstacles that this disease brings along. It also made me realize that the fight is not over, people are still facing difficulties to get treatment and the medicines that they need to survive.

I recommend people to buy the play and read it, because it is not only the amazing actors in the play what makes it incredible but a very interesting and smart script which I think many people will like.
