Out Among the Dragons

Ever have trouble getting off the couch? Patrick has that problem, only it’s been about two years now, and it’s his Mom’s couch. Then again, being a 26-year-old virgin with severe hemophilia, HIV, and lousy joints hasn’t given him much impetus.

That’s the initial set-up for Out Among the Dragons, a touching, decidedly funny world premiere play by Chicago playwright Dan Noonan. Then Patrick, determined to shake things up, decides to cruise his infectious disease clinic for the HIV positive woman of his dreams. Sarah Whitney directs.
