The actors are superbly game, throwing themselves into daring feats of theatrical acrobatics. Yet, politically overcompensating, Tartiufas repeatedly doesn't stick the landing.

In 1914, Long Beach leaders hired two bounty hunters to entrapgay men so the city could essentially blackmail and remove them with fines and public humiliation. Most men paid the fine and quietly slipped out of town. One man - a banker - committed suicide and two others sued the city. Playwright Tom Jacobson turned that dark chapter in the city's history into a play entitled The Twentieth Century Way. The play has been produced in Boston, Pasadena and on Broadway. Fittingly, it's coming to the Long Beach Playhouse.
