In 1993 Anthony Fauci and Larry Kramer went at each other on television over how the government was handling the AIDS crisis, and Daniel Fish has turned that broadcast into an hour of theater. Will Brill plays Fauci, Thomas Jay Ryan plays Kramer, Greig Sargeant moderates and Jenny Seastone voices the people calling in from around the country. It premiered at NYU Skirball and this is the start of its Brooklyn run.
What to expect
One hour, no intermission, in St. Ann's warehouse space under the Brooklyn Bridge. Fish works from the record of the televised confrontation, so the argument arrives unsoftened: a government insider and an agitator talking past each other while ordinary people phone in. Expect Fish's characteristically stripped, formally exact staging rather than a period recreation with wigs and sets.
