"The Normal Heart," Larry Kramer's explosive drama of the early years of the AIDS epidemic, first opened to thunderous critical acclaim at New York City's Public Theater in April, 1985. Eight years later, as the plague raged on, a group of the stage's most celebrated talents joined forces in a benefit reading of the play to raise money and awareness in the ongoing fight against AIDS. Their performance is now a Broadway legend--a one night only union of hearts and voices raised in anguish, anger and love that electrified the standing-room only audience and confirmed once more the fiery brilliance of Kramer's landmark play. This special presentation of the Broadway Benefit Reading of "The Normal Heart" captures this legendary night of theater forever. From the urgent poignancy of Barbara Streisand's opening remarks, to the incendiary performances of veteran director Jerry Zaks' superb cast, to the spontaneous outpouring of emotion at the final curtain, this is audio drama at its most powerful--an inspiring tribute to the power of theater, and a definitive and profoundly moving performance of one of the most important plays of our time.
