THE STORY: "Temperamental" was code for "homosexual" in the early 1950s, part of a created language of secret words that gay men used to communicate. THE TEMPERAMENTALS tells the story of two men - the communist Harry Hay and the Viennese refugee and designer Rudi Gernreich - as they fall in love while building the first gay rights organization in the pre-Stonewall United States.
"Intellectual, emotional and sexual." - NY Times. "Combines savvy context and ascending flights of bittersweet fabulousness." - NY Newsday. "Fascinating, entertaining and emotionally affecting." - Associated Press. "With style and a sense of humor, THE TEMPERAMENTALS mixes politics with campy comedy and unexpected bursts of emotional candor." - Time Out NY.
