The Normal Heart tickets

"Forget any sense of 'worthiness' or 'obligation'. The reason you want to see STC’s The Normal Heart is the superb performances combined with an articulate, intelligent script that is expertly presented. This is what I go to the theatre for." ★★★★★ Cultural Binge

First premiering at STC in 1989 to standing ovations, Larry Kramer’s Tony and Olivier Award-winning masterpiece returns almost 40 years later and feels as vital now as ever. Set in 1980s New York at the dawn of the AIDS crisis, The Normal Heart is a powerful, passionate story of love, activism and survival in the face of devastating indifference.

STC Artistic Director and four-time Helpmann Award-winner Mitchell Butel delivers a “poetically heartbreaking” (Limelight) performance as Ned Weeks, leading an extraordinary ensemble including – including Tim Draxl (A Place to Call Home, Sunset Boulevard), Keiynan Lonsdale (Love, Simon, Dance Academy), Nicholas Brown (Circle Mirror Transformation), Fraser Morrison (Grief is a Thing with Feathers) and Emma Jones. Directed by Dean Bryant, this “complete triumph” (Stage Whispers) is bold, emotional and impossible to forget a landmark theatrical event that demands to be seen.
