The American actor PATRICK WILSON starred in an anniversary reading of the ground-breaking play ‘The Normal Heart’, at the Public Theatre in New York on Monday 18th October 2010. The production, written by playwright LARRY KRAMER about the AIDS epidemic, was celebrating its 25th year anniversary.

Joel Grey, who starred in the original production and produced Monday’s reading, spoke to the New York Daily News about the play’s relevance in the 21st century, saying, “Young men are living on these HIV drugs for a long, long time. however, the youngsters think that nothing will happen to them, and they’re not practicing safe sex, so it’s very scary”. 37-year-old Wilson was joined by the Hollywood actress GLENN CLOSE for the reading.

Wilson is not unfamiliar with the play’s subject matter, in 2003 he starred in the HBO miniseries ‘Angels in America’, which followed the story of a gay couple living in New York during the Reagan administration. however, their lives are turned upside down after the revelation that one of them is HIV positive. Wilson won both GOLDEN GLOBE and EMMY AWARD nominations for his role as ‘Joe Pitt’, a Mormon gay lawyer.
