Torch Song Trilogy

About this item

A new edition of the classic drama portraying gay life in New York in the 1970s and 80s—winner of the Tony Award for Best Play, now coming to Broadway in a revival hailed by The New York Times as "irresistibly compelling." What begins as a chance encounter in a New York nightclub leads drag performer Arnold Beckoff on a hilarious yet touching pursuit of love, happiness, and a life of which he can be proud. From a failed affair with a reluctant lover to a committed relationship with a young model and the promise of a stable family, Arnold's struggle for acceptance meets its greatest resistance when he faces off with the person whose approval is most important to him: his mother. This edition contains for the first time ever both the original scripts for the three one-act plays ( International Stud, Fugue in a Nursery, and Widows and Children First! ) as they were performed in the 1970s, as well as the revised script for the 2017 revival that
