PLAY:
THE TEMPERAMENTALS
by Jon Marans
Directed by Michael Matthews
West Coast Premiere presented by The Blank Theatre Co.
DESCRIPTION:
In 1950s Los Angeles, tired of police harassment, back alley bars and living in fear, a few brave souls set out to change their world and claim their civil rights. In a time when nothing could be spoken in the open, notorious communist Harry Hay and cultural icon Rudi Gernreich fell in love while building a movement. This is their story. "Temperamental" was code for "homosexual," part of a secret survival language created by gay men in the pre-Stonewall United States.
