WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Naked Angels presents the world premiere of Geoffrey Nauffts' new play Next Fall, directed by Sheryl Kaller. The play is the winner of the Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation's 2008 Theatre Visions Fund award.
In this witty and provocative urban romance, a Christian gives an Atheist the Heimlich, and dislodges more than they bargained for. Written by Naked Angels' artistic director Geoffrey Nauffts, Next Fall chronicles the five-year relationship of Adam and Luke as they grapple with their respective demons. Timely and compelling, the play places the current Prop 8 controversy in a human context by examining what it means to "believe" in this day and age, and what it might cost us not to.

A gay man being forced to deal with the homophobic parents of his devoutly Christian partner is the subject of Geoffrey Naufft's Next Fall, currently being presented by Naked Angels at Playwrights Horizon's Peter Jay Sharp Theater under Sheryl Kaller's direction. Despite some emotionally potent moments in its second act, the play's effectiveness is limited by its tendency toward superficial, sitcom-ready dialogue and not especially convincing situations.
The play begins in a hospital waiting room where Adam (Patrick Breen) has just arrived, devastated to discover that his long-term, considerably younger lover Luke (Patrick Heusinger) has lapsed into a coma after a taxi accident. However, h[...]
