Synopsis

Now a major HBO film starring Mark Ruffalo, Matt Bomer, Taylor Kitsch and Julia Roberts.

It's 1981 and young men are dying in increasing numbers. No one wants to know about it or help. A few gay men, led by the uncompromising and impassioned journalist Ned Weeks, try to break through a conspiracy of silence, indifference and hostility from public officials and the gay community to gain recognition for a disease that threatens to change everything.

The story of a city in denial, The Normal Heart unfolds like a real-life political thriller as a tight-knit group of friends refuses to let doctors, politicians and the press bury the truth of an unacknowledged epidemic behind a wall of silence.

A quarter of a century after it was written, this brave, unflinching, and totally unforgettable look at the sexual politics of New York during the AIDS crisis remains one of the theatre's most powerful evenings ever.
