Stress Position

by Devin Toohey

Co-written with husband and writing partner, Brian Whitaker

When an elder gay dom has to move to assisted living, his former and current play partners gather to clean out his rural Indianan home...including his dungeon. As they pack away decades of whips, chains, and other accoutrement, they also unpack longstanding grudges, attachments, and secrets.

    I honestly believe that this play will be someone's absolute favorite play. It tackles a world rarely seen on stage and is filled with incredible characters. If you are lucky enough to produce this play now, you will be ahead of the game. This play is going to be produced all over the country.
