New play looking at friendship between AIDS activist Larry Kramer and Anthony Fauci in the works
November 21, 2025
A new play titled “Kramer/Fauci” explores the complex relationship between playwright and AIDS activist Larry Kramer and Dr. Anthony Fauci. The play will premiere in New York early next year, directed by Tony Award-winner Daniel Fish. It will run at The Jack H. Skirball Center for the Performing Arts from Feb. 11 to 21. Fish uses the transcript of a 1993 C-Span face-off between Kramer and Fauci as the text. The two went from adversaries to friends during the AIDS crisis. Fish aims for a theatrical experience rather than a literal recreation of their exchange.
