'The Boys in the Band's action is a long, tense evening and one of the worst birthday parties I've ever read about. Its also very typical, because the bitchy "friend" who throws the party makes it all about himself.

This play is simultaneously celebrated and castigated for portraying its gay characters the way it does. The characters are archetypes and are not the most flattering portraits, but, being archetypes, they're based on a reality. Even in today's enlightened times I've known similarly stunted and irritating people (and have some of those traits myself). 'Boys' is relevant and would be even if it hadn't been one of the first successful plays with a majority of gay characters.

The problem I had with it is that, because I was reading it, and that they were pretty much all horrible people, I lost track of who was who except for the straight one. They all blended into each other and I had to keep flipping to the front of the book to remember who was who. As that's more my fault than Crowley's I don't have any objections to this play. Bring on the unflattering self-hatred, bring on the tossed aside luxurious sweaters, and the lady pronouns, and most of all, bring on the hissing and spitting. The story its trying to tell isn't any less valid because it doesn't fit some nobler purpose for a political or social cause. That said, whether you're reading this for its landmark status or for camp pleasure, don't go into it expecting some universal message. ( )

Read because I saw the play at college in about 1973.

Several gay friends and lovers gather in an apartment for a birthday party in 1960s New York City. The first act leavens their inherent angst with humor. The second act is all angst and raw emotion. An outsider, ostensibly straight, propels the plot by injecting the type of hypocritical disapproval they have banded together to repel. An emotionally complex play from a different time, but it still resonates. ( )

A pioneering effort. In one production, every gay stereotype was assembled on the stage at a time when Broadway was still tippy-toeing around skeletons in the closet and such like. From a midnight cowboy to a flaming queen to a self-loather to a "mature and loving" couple, we got it all. ( )
