My review of# HBO's The Normal Heart

HBO's The Normal Heart 

Joe Mantello and Jim Parsons

There was no Curtainup for me to write about the the shock I experienced when I entered the Public Theater in 1985 to see Larry Kramer's The Normal Heart. But I don't need to have anything I would have written to recall the punch-to-the-gut feeling that intensified as I watched this all too real and ongoing horror story unfold. But I've seen it twice since--  and now comes the film,  adapted by the author and  director Ryan Murphy for  HBO
