"The book focuses on the relationship between American and British dramas written by and about gay men and the changing gay culture those plays reflect. From the era of the carefully enforced closet and the coming of liberation politics to the tragedy of the AIDS epidemic and the qualified security of the present era, Still Acting Gay chronicles the transition of the gay man as subject for sensational melodrama to creator of many of the most powerful and celebrated plays of the late twentieth century.

This classic book on male homosexuality in modern drama is a must read for anyone interested in the state of the drama today."--BOOK JACKET.
