Daniel Fish’s ‘Kramer/Fauci’ Revives 1993 AIDS Crisis Clash in Off-Broadway Run
Daniel Fish’s Off-Broadway production of 'Kramer/Fauci' at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn re-stages a 1993 C-SPAN debate between AIDS activist Larry Kramer and scientist Anthony Fauci. The hour-long verbatim play, starring Thomas Jay Ryan and Will Brill, uses spatial staging and archival dialogue to highlight tensions between activism and public health policy. While critics praise its emotional resonance and historical relevance, others argue the lack of dramatic context and repetitive dialogue limit its impact.
