Just Say No (play)

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.
