Terrence McNally's 'Some Men'
Rising Action Theatre, Inc. presents The South Florida Premiere of Some Men by Terrence McNally
One Month Only Sept 24 through Nov 2, 2008
The hot-button topic of gay marriage is the running theme of Some Men. Some Men takes place at a gay wedding where 8 men look back on their lives from 1922 through today. They explore how gay life, love, self worth and relationships have changed through the decades. "Some people think this marriage thing is going to be the end of gay life as it has been practiced on this planet for a hundred million years," says a character in the opening scene, set during a wedding between two men at the Waldorf-Astoria. The Tony Award Winning Terrence McNally has written The Ritz, Love, Valour, Compassion, Frankie and Johnnie in the Clare Delune, Master Class, Bad Habits, the controversial Corpus Christi and the books to the musicals Kiss of the Spiderwoman, The Rink, The Full Monty and Ragtime. He also won an Emmy for the teleplay of Andre's Mother.
