Synopsis
The first collected anthology of gay and lesbian plays from the entire span of the twentieth century.
Included are The God of Vengeance (1918) by Sholom Ash, the first play to introduce lesbian characters to an English language audience; Lillian Hellman's classic The Children's Hour (1933), intially banned in London and passed over for the Pulitzer Prize because of its subject matter; and Oscar Wilde (1938) by Leslie and Sewell Stokes, a major award-winning success that starred Robert Morley.
