Drama Characters: 9 male Interior Set This seminal work of the Off-Broadway movement premiered in 1968 and was a long-running hit onstage, later filmed with the original cast. In 2010, the play made a triumphant return to New York City in an highly praised production produced by Drama Desk and Obie Award winning Transport Group. In his upper eastside Manhattan apartment, Michael is throwing a birthday party for Harold, a self-awoved 32 year-old, pock-marked, Jew fairy , complete with surprise gift: Cowboy a street hustler. As the evening wears on, fueled by drugs and alcohol, bitter, unresolved resentments among the guests come to light when a game of Truth goes terribly wrong. A play of real substance, one that deserves to be performed not occasionally but regularly. -The Wall Street Journal …terrifically thoughtful…The Boys in the Band emerges remarkably universal. -NY1 …deliriously delicious… -Gay City News The Boys in the Band…goes from wittily bitchy to heartbreakingly brutal… -Out Magazine Witty, bitchy, revelatory and dazzlingly entertaining…the excoriating wit is still there.
-New York Post Humor is still on key in this poignant, sparkling revival of a landmark gay play…the star of the evening is the play itself solidly built, still moving and enormously entertaining. -New York Daily News This is a play that takes the homosexual way of life totally for granted and uses this as a valid basis for human experience…the power of the play is the way in which it remorselessly peels away the pretensions of its characters. -The New York Times
