Four people on a dimly lit stage: a man faces a woman in rollerblades and a red jacket, while two other men sit further back, one in a suit and the other casually dressed.

A man in a patterned shirt sits on an office chair holding a microphone, with two other people standing and sitting in the background on a stage.

A man in a dark sweater stands behind a mound of foam, with bubbles floating in the air and bright lights shining in the background.

About Kramer/Fauci

“God, I hated him … As far as I was concerned, he was the central focus of evil in the world.” —Larry Kramer on Anthony Fauci, in The New Yorker (2002)

“He attacked me, he called me a murderer, he called me an incompetent idiot, I mean publicly … It turned out I loved the guy, and I think he loved me back.” —Anthony Fauci on Larry Kramer, PBS (2020)

Internationally acclaimed director Daniel Fish (Oklahoma!) turns his eye to one of the most combustible conversations of the AIDS crisis: the 1993 televised clash between Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading AIDS researcher, and playwright-activist Larry Kramer. A confrontation charged with rage, urgency, and unexpected intimacy, it crystallized a turning point in the fight for care, treatment, and recognition. Fish dramatizes their exchange as both history and provocation, a searing reminder of how art, activism, and public health collide on the most human terms. With Tony Award-winner Will Brill (Stereophonic), Thomas Jay Ryan (Henry Fool), Greig Sargeant, and Jenny Seastone Stern.

It was an important subject and story, not sure why there was a bubble machine that was unnecessary. I could not hear about 50% of the dialogue, why couldn't everyone have microphones so they could be heard.

A verbatim theatrical experience using Larry Kramer and Anthony Fauci’s C-Span interview.

Essential and relevant. Since it’s the actual transcript the interpretation is up to the audience. It was and is prophetic.
