Directed by Michele King, this production promises a powerful theatrical experience, touching on themes that resonate beyond its historical setting. “Having lived through the worst of the AIDS crisis, I remember clearly how devastating it was and how many people we lost. I remember the government’s early inaction, the fear, the sorrow and the anger. In my own office, I heard cruel things from people who thought it didn’t concern them. This play deals with that and more!”, says King.
Set in San Diego, this gripping, time-bending story sheds light on a little-known chapter in medical history during the onset of the AIDS crisis. While navigating through the complexities of the medical establishment, Roz and Ray tells a profound story of love, trust and sacrifice that grapples with the messy process of healing the human heart. Ray is a devoted single parent with one goal: keep his twin hemophiliac sons alive. In 1976, this means endless hospital visits, rigorous testing and frequent blood transfusions. Then Ray meets Roz – a brilliant doctor who offers a cutting-edge treatment for his boys – and everything clicks. Until they both discover the miracle treatment may lead to very dangerous results.
