Normal Heart reviews the unfolding of the epidemic through the eyes of a querulous but sincerely righteous gay activist. Audience members may feel inclined to tune out during the protracted debate over the direction of gay political movements, and Playwright Kramer belabors his belief that the proper response to AIDS is universal sexual abstinence, at least among gays. But he captures the panic and self-hatred that AIDS has unleashed. He dishes up highly imaginative invective, not least toward a character based upon himself. And he creates a complex, interesting romance between his surrogate, played by Brad Davis (who starred...
...back almost to the turn of the century, but they strive to be as innovative as fledgling Silicon Valley computer firms. The cardmakers are experimenting with different styles, coming up with novel reasons for people to buy their wares and using new technology that enables cards to play tunes or talk.

Generally well-choreographed, often amusing, absurdly comic, emotionally unencumbering, less tedious than its length suggests, it has that same cheeky appeal as Duchamp's "Mona Lisa" or a bust of George Washington with...
