    “

    This anthology tells the fascinating story of the struggle for gay rights in this country. Though a series of gripping short plays and monologues which span a century, we are treated to many personal stories of humiliation and pain, but ultimate liberation in the end. This collection would be the highlight of any LGBT and/or human rights festival. I would love to see this produced!
