“Fun fact: watching HBO’s movie adaptation of Larry Kramer’s Normal Heart in high school changed the trajectory of my life. Not to be dramatic, but it’s kinda true. So the fact that Drake wrote this entire play after seeing Normal Heart in person nearly 30 years prior to me watching it in my childhood bedroom felt irrationally personal to me. This spectre of queer ancestry is what I’m constantly aching for. —————————————————————————— “The night after the night Larry Kramer kissed me I threw down those pages, pages, pages from my New York Times and ran for days to escape the invisible, unprintable, killer.””
