Customer Reviews

A must read for any theatre lover!

I stumbled across this "Staging Gay Lives" when I was despertley looking for the play, "What's Wrong With Angry?" by Patrick Wilde. This play became the base for a very popular queer film called, "Get Real". This book of 10 queer themed plays was the only place I could find this play. After getting the book, I also enjoyed the other 9 plays that were in the book. This book of plays, is a must read for any theatre lover out there. Weather gay or straight, I think that anyone can appreciate the sincere realism of these 10 beautifuly written plays.
