In 1950s Los Angeles, tired of police harassment, back alley bars and living in fear, a few brave souls set out to change their world and claim their civil rights. In a time when nothing could be spoken in the open, notorious communist Harry Hay and cultural icon Rudi Gernreich fell in love while building a movement. This is their story.

In Jon Marans' thought-provoking bio-play THE TEMPERAMENTALS--now playing its West Coast Premiere at the Blank Theatre Company's 2nd Stage Theater in Los Angeles through May 22--a little-known bit of history is unearthed: More than a decade before the infamous Stonewall Riots marked the defacto start of the modern-day pro-gay rights movement in the United States, there actually existed a group of equally brave men who decided to 'come out' and be organized at a time when such truthfulness could mean putting their lives and livelihoods in grave jeopardy.

Not since Bent has there been so much media attention and interest in a play about homosexuality than currently exists with regard to Jon Marans' The Temperamentals. Still running off-Broadway the play is now onstage at The Blank Theatre Company with an appealing cast, direction and certainly intriguing and controversial subject matter that will keep audiences coming to see it. Done in a rather fast paced docudrama style, The Temperamentals, as gays were called in the early 50s, long before Stonewall in 1969 enticed them out of the closet, the play, despite being a curiosity piece of fine intellectual proportions, never maintains a high enough emotional involvement, at least in this production.
