MARCH 24, 1995 GAY PEOPLE'S CHRONICLE

23

EVENINGS OUT

Larry Kramer play is on stage at John Carroll

Larry Kramer's The Destiny of Me, currently playing at John Carroll University in Cleveland, is a moving and powerful work about the life of a gay man dealing with complex issues of HIV and coming out to his family.

The play chronicles the life of Ned Weeks, an HIV positive AIDS activist first created by Kramer— who founded ACT UP-in The Normal Heart. Weeks checks himself into a Washington D.C. hospital for an experimental new treatment. From his hospital bed he observes, witnesses, and interacts with himself and his family from adolescence to adulthood. He attempts to come to grips with his identity as a gay man, attain some level of family acceptance, and through it all search for true love in an AIDS-besieged world.

Dr. Della Vida examines Ned Weeks as his brother looks away.

Ned's brother Ben, a college athlete and successful businessman, hopes to 'cure' him of being gay by sending him to endless psychiatrists. His father Richard, a man who has had several career setbacks in his life, lives in shame of having a gay son. Rena, Ned's mother, is more supportive and understanding of her son. Dr. Tony Della Vida and Nurse Hanniman, a husband and wife team, treat the often outspoken Ned with the new experimental treatment.

Performances are March 24, 25, 31, and April 1 at 8 pm in JCU's Kulas Auditorium,

20700 North Park Blvd., in University Hts. The auditorium is located in the building with the bell tower facing the Fairmount and Warrensville circle.
