Las Vegas Little Theatre presents Martin Sherman’s 1979 drama Bent, a look at a gay man’s imprisonment during the Holocaust. In 1934 Berlin, Max and his lover Rudy are recovering from a drinking and sexual encounter with a homosexual SA trooper. Two storm troopers burst into the apartment and slit their guest’s throat, beginning a nightmare odyssey through Nazi Germany which ranked homosexuals on a lower human scale than Jews.
