The Cranford Dramatic Club will open their 2014-15 season with "The Normal Heart,"a searing drama about public and private indifference to the AIDS plague
and one man's lonely fight to awaken the world to the crisis."The Normal Heart" follows Ned Weeks, a gay activist enraged at the indifference of public officials and the gay community. While trying to save the world from itself, he confronts the personal toll of AIDS when his lover dies of the disease.

The show will run at 8 p.m. September 5 and 6.
