The Normal Heart
, set during the early years of the AIDS epidemic, is the impassioned indictment of a society that allowed the plague to happen, a moving denunciation of the ignorance and fear that helped kill an entire generation. It has been produced and taught all over the world. Its companion play,
The Destiny of Me
, is the stirring story of an AIDS activist forced to put his life in the hands of the very doctor he has been denouncing.
