Alternately hilarious, painful, and sexy, SOME MEN presents a kaleidoscope of characters set within some of the events that bent the arc of gay history in America. Scenes are set in 1969 during the Stonewall riots, in St. Vincent's hospital at the height of the AIDS crisis, on a beach in the Hamptons in the 1920s and again 70 years later, in an AOL chat room, in a bath house and many other locations which provide the texture to our lives. The play begins and ends with a contemporary gay wedding, relating interconnecting stories of generations of men. When taken together, they constitute a salute to the 20th-Century gay men who survived “the years of secrecy and oppression” to reach the astonishing point where gays can now joke nervously about marriage just like everyone else.
