Robert Patrick

From Google Books: Seven one-act plays dramatize the lives of gay men during each decade from the twenties to the eighties

Temple Slave tells the story of the Espresso Buono, the archetypal alternative performance space, and the wildly talented misfits who called it home in the 60s. The Buono became the birthplace of underground theaterand the personal and social consciousness that would lead to Stonewall and the modern gay and lesbian movement. Temple Slave is a page from gay history, a riotous tour de force peppered with the verbal fireworks and insight that are the hallmark of Patrick's work.
