The Normal Heart
3704 Sixth Avenue, San Diego, 92103
Cost: $14 - $32
Ion Theatre is giving Larry Kramer's drama, about the birth of the HIV/AIDs crisis, a stark and moving production. The play unfolds like a documentary of the times, the urgency, the denial, the frustration (Kramer says "there's not a good word to be said about anyone's behavior in this whole mess"). Claudio Raygoza does outstanding work as Ned Weeks, who crusades almost alone to raise awareness. Few plays or musicals can re-create a point in time like The Normal Heart. It depicts events with such tenacity you feel free to say, "That must be how it was" [Note: Ion Theatre has extended the run of this show]. Critic's Pick.
