For the Gay Stage

<p> Previous surveys of the gay theatrical repertoire have concentrated on plays produced on Broadway or in London's West End. This comprehensive guide goes well beyond these earlier studies by introducing productions from Off Broadway from regional theaters in the U.S. and U.K. and from Ireland Canada Australia New Zealand and South Africa. Also included are Puerto Rican Indian and Filipino plays written in English as well as translations from other languages. Well over half of the works discussed here appear for the first time in such a study.</p>
