The Normal Heart - Driftwood Players

The Edmonds Driftwood Players presents a special “Staged-Reading” of the Tony Award winning,

The Normal Heart

by Larry Kramer

The Driftwood Players is proud to present a staged-reading performance of Larry Kramer’s Tony Award Winning play “The Normal Heart” in a limited, 2-day engagement.  Kramer’s chronicle of the beginning of AIDS crisis in 1984 New York is alternately angry and tender, as the protagonist takes on the government, the medical establishment, the media, and even his own gay community to help those he loves.  Shattering and true, the play reverberates with rights withheld and dignity quashed.  

Directed by Carissa Meisner Smit
