A really interesting piece! I particularly appreciated the complex portrayal of Harvey Milk. I think the saintification of politicians (regardless of their identities) is dangerous and it's really refreshing to read a complex portrayal of Milk. It feels brave and subversive in an interesting way to deal with Milk as a man who had an ideology that wasn't uncomplicatedly positive.

Highly theatrical and deeply researched, Rose's play prompts difficult questions about the unintended consequences of trying to save someone else's life, from bullets or from the closet. Underneath the headlines and camp lip-syncing, it is at heart the story of why we lie to protect those we love, and how the truth doesn't always set us free in the way we hope it will. Begging to be in production.

A completely arresting look at a true, historical event that absolutely deserves to exist more predominantly in the public consciousness. This play explores how homophobia, internalized shame, politics, and a relentless new cycle contribute to a climate where it's possible for a man's life to be ruined by LITERALLY SAVING THE PRESIDENT FROM AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT. It's heartbreaking, compassionate, nuanced, and utilizes space, sound and an ensemble of actors doubling various roles to absolutely gorgeous effect. I very much hope to see this play staged.
