Just Say No (play)

This article is about the Larry Kramer play. For the anti-drug ad campaign, see Just Say No.

Just Say No, a 1988 play by American writer Larry Kramer, was an attack on the Ronald Reagan administration and the Mayor of New York, Ed Koch, over what Kramer saw as their hypocrisy and inertia in responding to AIDS. It was less successful than Kramer's previous play, The Normal Heart, possibly due to its sharply political tone. In nineteen years there have only been three major productions of Just Say No - in New York at the WPA in 1988, in Chicago at the Bailiwick Theatre in 1999 and in Los Angeles at Theatre of NOTE in 2007.
