About the Show
THE OPTIONS GAME, a debut play by Frank Williams, is a raw, unflinching exploration of dating app culture through the eyes of Mane, a Black gay man in New York City. It delves into the complexities of race, toxic masculinity, and internalized homophobia through a series of encounters ranging from comical to deeply disturbing. This provocative play challenges audiences to examine the often-overlooked darker side of hookup culture and its impact on the Black LGBTQ+ community, while highlighting the struggle for genuine connection in the digital age.
