Abstract:
"A dozen essays--by a range of established scholars and performing artists on issues in post-1969 American gay and lesbian theatre and drama--cover playwrights, millennial dramatists, and actors while exploring the history of gay-themed theatre and drama, the breadth of stage roles, and the dramatic representation of homosexual characters"--Provided by publisher.
