Can someone please supply me with a synopsis of this show, please? I have the cast recording, but I just don't know the storyline and I was asked to play Michael in a production of it that's being put on by a new theatre company opening in Dallas. It'll be their first show and it would help if I knew what the show was basically about, lol.

Thanks y'all.

In a TINY nutshell to give you an idea of the play:

Jonathan lives in NYC. Susan is his girlfriend, Michael is his friend. Jonathan deals with turning 30 in 1990, the lack of success he's had in his career so far, his girlfriend leaving him, and his best friend confessing that he has AIDS.

Tgif, you deserve special commendation for not saying "Do a search" but doing the search yourself and presenting the results! If only everyone else here would be so helpful to each other.

re: Tick, tick...Boom! Why thank you. Took me a good 10-15 minutes too.

(Martha Graham from a letter to Agnes de Mille) "There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening That is translated through you into action, And because there is only one of you in all time, This expression is unique. If you block it, It will never exist through any other medium And be lost. The world will never have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, Nor how valuable it is, Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, To keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware Directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, A blessed unrest that keeps us marching And makes us more alive than others."
