Previous surveys of the gay theatrical repertoire have concentrated on plays produced on Broadway or in London's West End. This comprehensive guide goes well beyond these earlier studies by introducing productions from Off Broadway, from regional theaters in the U.S. and U.K., and from Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Also included are Puerto Rican, Indian and Filipino plays written in English, as well as translations from other languages. Well over half of the works discussed here appear for the first time in such a study.
Explores the total sweep of gay plays published in English, not just those that were produced on Broadway and in London's West End. In addition to Off- and Off-Off-Broadway and regional theatre offerings, plays from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Puerto Rico and South Africa are inlcuded. Translations from other languages are also given their due place.
