The University of Waterloo Drama Department, in association with
Gay and Lesbian Liberation of Waterloo (GLLOW) are proud to
present "The Normal Heart".
Larry Kramer's explosive drama is about our most terrifying and
troubling medical crisis today: the AIDS epidemic. It tells the
story of very private lives caught up in the heart rending ordeal
of suffering and doom, an ordeal that was largely ignored for
reasons of politics and majority morality.
Brought to life through the skillful direction of Neil S. Wiffen
and a superb cast of young actors, the production is at once
provocative, informative and challenging. It is not a play about
AIDS alone; it is a play about discrimination, personal freedom
and misconceptions faced by all members of society regarding
homosexuality. It does not blame one group alone, but freely
admits that "there is not a good word to be said for anyone's
behaviour in this whole mess".
"The Normal Heart" will be performed in Hagey Hall, room 180 (on
the University of Waterloo campus), Thursday, July 23 to
Saturday, July 25. Admission is $1.99 with limited seating.
There will also be a benefit performance at the Princess Cinema
in Waterloo on Sunday, July 26 at 8:00pm (EDT). Admission is
$6.00 with all proceeds going to Casey House of Toronto (the
first AIDS hospice in Canada). For Sunday ticket reservations
or more information please feel free to contact Neil S. Wiffen at
(519) 579-1456 or send me email.
