About the Show

Daniel Fish’s world premiere dramatizes the 1993 Fauci-Kramer clash during the AIDS crisis.

This world premiere dramatizes the highly combustible televised clash that occurred in 1993 between Dr. Anthony Fauci, then the nation’s leading AIDS researcher, and playwright-activist Larry Kramer. The confrontation, characterized by rage, urgency, and an unexpected intimacy, is presented as a moment that crystallized a critical turning point in the ongoing fight for medical treatment, proper care, and public recognition for those affected by the AIDS crisis. The production frames this historical exchange as both a historical account and a contemporary provocation.

The play is directed by internationally acclaimed director Daniel Fish (known for his Tony Award-winning revival of Oklahoma!). The cast features Tony Award winner Will Brill (known for Stereophonic) and Thomas Jay Ryan (whose credits include Henry Fool).
