As Is 

1986

Pre-dating Larry Kramer’s The Normal Heart by a month, William M. Hoffman’s As Is was one of the first plays to deal with the AIDS epidemic. Hoffman adapted the play about effects of AIDS on a group of friends living in New York City as a television production starring Jonathan Hadary, Robert Carradine, and Colleen Dewhurst.
