WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Blue Heron Theatre presents the New York premiere of Farm Boys, by Amy Fox and Dean Gray from Will Fellows' book of oral histories, Farm Boys: Lives of Gay Men from the Rural Midwest,.
Jim Pelegano directs.
When he unexpectedly inherits a small farm in his hometown, John leaves New York City to travel to central Wisconsin and reacquaint himself with the farming lifestyle. But the ghosts of John's past -- including a relationship he had with the farm's original owner while still a teenager -- cast a shadow over his current romance with his partner Kim, a native New Yorker and choreographer. Judged by a community fearful of homosexuality and pressured to sell the property by a corporation that's slowly extinguishing small farmers, John must ultimately determine where he and Kim can create a home for themselves.
David Drake and Thomas James O'Leary head the cast that also features Joan Grant, Craig Jorczak, and Jim Madden.

Representations of gay life usually focus on urban environments, but that's only part of the picture. Will Fellows's Farm Boys: Lives of Gay Men from the Rural Midwest, published in 1996, offers a different perspective. Playwrights Amy Fox and Dean Gray use this work as a jumping off point for their play Farm Boys. Although they call their work an adaptation, it would be more accurate to say that Fox and Gray were inspired by the book, which is a collection of first-person narratives by different generations of gay men who grew up in rural farming communities. The five characters that inhabit the play are original creations, even if aspects of their stories and even snippets of their dialogu[...]
