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.  The Normal Heart was selected as one of the 100 Greatest Plays of the Twentieth Century by the Royal National Theatre of Great Britain  The Destiny of Me was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, a double Obie winner, and the recipient of the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Play of the Year.   Introduction by Tony Kushner.   “Wired with anger, electric with rage. . . . Powerful stuff.” —The Boston Globe

Special Edition The Normal Heart and The Destiny of Me: Two Plays with FREE EASY Reading!

If you’re puzzling over which edition of “The Normal Heart” to purchase, this is it. In addition to the script for Larry Kramer’s masterpiece about the early years of the AIDS plague (to use Kramer’s terminology) when homosexual men were one of the disease’s primary victim groups, this volume includes a sequel of sorts, “The Destiny of Me.” Both plays center on AIDS activist Ned Weeks, a founding member of the Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC). “The Normal Heart” is clearly autobiographical, with Ned being a stand-in for Kramer. In interviews (many of them accessible on YouTube), Kramer acknowledges that all the characters are based on very specific real people and asserts that all of their speeches are very much in the words he remembers hearing them utter. In this regard—that is, in the compiling of documented speech and reshaping it for dramatic effect—“The Normal Heart” has more in common with Moises Kaufman’s “The Laramie Project” (and possibly Miller’s “The Crucible”) than with Kramer’s own sequel.“The Destiny of Me” could not be classified as “documentarian.” It is more of a memory play, abstract bordering on fantasy. Truth is found in the authentic and honest expression of feelings, not in the verifiability of facts. And here, psychoanalysis plays a key role in the filtering and shaping of such truths. All that considered, it’s hard to imagine how this play would be staged, but in his note About the Production, Kramer expresses his confidence in the inventiveness of theater professionals to come up with something that will work. In general, “The Destiny of Me” reminds me of Wilder’s “Our Town” (minus the sentimentality) and O’Neill’s “Strange Interlude” and “Long Day’s Journey Into Night.” Human and spatial boundaries are infirm and permeable. The play presents Ned several years after being ousted from GMHC (an event that served as the climax in “The Normal Heart”) and sometime after launching Act-Up, an activist organization committed to pressuring governmental agencies and pharmaceutical companies into fast-tracking drug trials. Ned is in hospital receiving an experimental treatment for his HIV/AIDS. Death is clearly the elephant in the room. And whenever death hovers people tend to look at the entire arc of their lives and ponder the ”what ifs” and “if onlys.” Ned not only invokes his brother Ben and their parents (Richard and Rena), he also conjures up his adolescent self (played by another actor and who goes by the name Alexander) to help him better interrogate his familial tormentors. There is much finger-pointing, bemoaning the absence of love, and venting of resentments. In the end only one relationship experiences any significant healing, that of the two brothers (a healing process that was only beginning, and still quite fragile, at the end of “The Normal Heart”). Death has moved in closer, but Ned is very much alive and still fighting at the end of the play. As Kramer notes in his Introduction, “The deathbed play remains to be written; now I have a chance to write a trilogy.” Alas, that scene remains undocumented and was destined to be played off stage, a very private closet drama.Playwright Tony Kushner (“Angels in America”) provided an Introduction to the volume that is tender and insightful and another reason to choose this edition over any others available.
