It was extremely powerful at the time although something tells me it wouldn't hold up as well today, certainly not compared to The Normal Heart.
I saw the Regeneration Theatre production of As Is a few years back. I had only learned about the play a few years earlier & being a huge fan of The Normal Heart, I was very much looking forward to seeing a staged production. And it was.... okay. I had read the text by then so I knew the story, but the play still felt extremely dated & subdued. Granted it could have been the caliber of the production, but The Normal Heart still feels urgent, gripping & devastating to me. (I do very much appreciate As Is for being a pioneer AIDS play & I have been desperate to see the TV movie from 1986.) |
