The Temperamentals
$15.00 - $40.00
“Temperamental” was code for “homosexual” in the early 1950’s, part of a created language of secret words that gay men used to communicate. Winner of a Drama Desk Award in 2010, The Temperamentals tells the story of two men – the communist Harry Hay and the Viennese refugee and designer Rudi Gernreich – as they fall in love while building the first gay rights organization in the pre-Stonewall United States. “With style and sense of humor, it mixes politics with…comedy and unexpected bursts of emotional candor,” wrote David Cote in Time Out New York.
