Drama<p>Characters: 9 male </p><p>Interior Set </p><p>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.</p>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.</p>"A play of real substance, one that deserves to be performed not occasionally but regularly."-<em>The Wall Street Journal</em></p> "...terrifically thoughtful...<em>The Boys in the Band</em> emerges remarkably universal."-NY1</p> "...deliriously delicious..."-<em>Gay City News</em></p> "The Boys in the Band... goes from wittily bitchy to heartbreakingly brutal..."-<em>Out Magazine</em></p> <p>"Witty, bitchy, revelatory and dazzlingly entertaining...the excoriating wit is still there."-<em>New York Post</em><p>"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."-<em>New York Daily News</em><p>"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."-<em>The New York Times</em>
