THE STORY: SOME MEN is Tony Awardwinner Terrence McNally at his best. Often funny and sometimes touching, SOME MEN looks at same-sex life and love against a background of some of the events that shaped the last century.
"Terrence McNally's play is a superb theatrical experience - an evocative, funny, poignant and wise tour through gay life over the last eighty years or so. Two classes of people would benefit from seeing it: gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered people interested in learning in a very entertaining way what life has been like for us in recent times; and heterosexual people who'd like to learn the same thing. I have no hesitation in saying how much pleasure I derived in spending time with SOME MEN on my birthday in New York." - U.S. Senator Barney Frank. "A breezy series of sketches
droll observations on the difficulties of translating the classic gay sensibility
a pageant of the ages à la Noël Coward's
Cavalcade." - NY Times. "Harks back to the knife-edge Absurdism of McNally's own earliest phase; short bursts of excitement are a youthful trait that an oldster can weave into more knowing patterns." - Village Voice. "A moving and funny encyclopedia of relationships
a lush, mixed bouquet of sex, pain, and laughs, and sometimes big laughs happen in the painful parts. Not a quick montage, situations are presented with depth and poignancy." - CurtainUp. "Funny and thoughtful
gripping
excellent touches throughout, heartbreaking scenes and funny ones." - Talkin' Broadway.
