Created for general and scholarly audiences alike, this volume
offers ten of the best recent plays by and about gay men, all of
which have been successfully produced and critically acclaimed in
the United States and England. The playwrights, who reflect
multicultural origins ranging from Anglo to African American and
Latino, have crafted powerful and insightful depictions of the
roles gay men play in gender politics.Each play is explosive,
politically and socially relevant, and enlightening, whether it be
Martin Sherman's much-praised "A Madhouse in Goa" or the
avante-garde Pomo Afro Homos' "Dark Fruit." The first to offer such
a diversity of voices, this collection also crosses generational
borders. Included are two of the first and most important modern
gay playwrights--Martin Sherman and Peter Gill--as well as exciting
younger dramatists who have emerged in the "gay
nineties."Illustrating the sexual politics and events that have
swirled through mainstream society since the Stonewall rebellion in
the 1960s--AIDS, homophobia, transgendering, discrimination,
violence--these plays offer essential and direct articulation of
the human lives involved. Each of these plays in its own unique way
deeply investigates the pain, sorrow, joy, and beauty of being gay
in a predominantly heterosexual world.
