The play is 3 hour adaptation of the Torch Song Trilogy, which was a series of plays telling a gay life story in New York from 1970-1980. I am reviewing the narrative here and describing […]

It is a melodramatic performance of the historical facts with no character development. The scenes change with simple props and there are lip synced songs with dance […]
