Tom Jacobson’s The Twentieth-Century Way will premiere off-Broadway at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, beginning previews May 28 with opening night set for June 3. The limited engagement will run through July 19, with The Theatre @ Boston Court‘s Michael Michetti directing.

Will Bradley and Robert Mammana will star in this two-person play about homosexual entrapment in Los Angeles at the turn of the 20th century. Based on a little-known incident in Los Angeles history, The Twentieth-Century Way explores "the collision of reality and fantasy as two actors juggle various roles to entrap homosexuals for 'social vagrancy' in the public restrooms of 1914 Long Beach."

The Twentieth-Century Way will be presented as a co-production of Los Angeles' The Theatre @ Boston Court and New York's Rattlestick Playwrights Theatre.
