Wright is actually depicting more than one character, or so someone in the production team told me when I asked the same question. Supposedly hey use to specify each and every single character in the playbill during the Atlantic run...perhaps someone with a physical copy can attest to this...
Masturbating to Merman makes you definitely a Homo
I quess i get it now
But she wasn't even born then.
Well if he is a different character than the book really sucks cause there is no indication of that.

Wright is playing Hanschen in that scene. When his father "knocks" on the door he yells out "HANSCHEN!"
So that settles that debate.

I was just going to say that, Jordan.
I think it's like my Ethel Merman example. I mean, he doesn't say, "oh, your boobs are so perky!" He says some funky crap.
well if he is a closet homo he would certainly be jerkin' thinking about a boy.
So the book does suck.
so Georg and Hanschen are both masturbating?

Eric - you want pictures? Ask and ye shall receive...
Have you prayed tonight, Ethel?
The reason that he is masturbating to Desdemonda in Act 1 and then getting it on with Ernst in Act 2 is because that's what was written in the original play. He is also feeling violent toward her and fantsizes about killing her. Clearly he is very "confused." I think with Ernst he enjoys the "power" that he holds over him more than anything.
In Act 2 Wright does play another character. All of the male cast members, except for Gallagher, Groff & Spinella play reformatory boys for one scene.
Hahah reading this thread you'd think everyone thought sexuality was a black and white thing.
But anyway, that's besides the point. Hanschen isn't necessarily seducing a boy because he's gay; he's power-hungry and is so self-centered he just assumes he is admired by all.
"I love you, Hanschen, as I have never loved anyone!"
"... And so you should."

He is masturbating to her lying down - obviously the death scene. I think he's just really into that hardcore ****.
Like Disco Merman.
Circle Jerk sounds like a dance that one could do while listening to the Ethel Merman disco album. Ethel could shout out "now, everyone do the circle jerk!"
I told my girlfriend most of The Bitch of Living was about masturbation after she sang it for a week in public during my high school's rehearsals and stuff...and she made this...face as she realized. You had to be there...
