THE MADNESS OF LADY BRIGHT
by Lanford Wilson
On a hot summer afternoon in New York, Leslie tries to reach out to his acquaintances. Yet no one picks up. As he dials, he reminisces about past lovers and tormenting thoughts cause him to relive moments in his life as a gay man.
Written before the gay rights movement took off in New York during the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the play raises awareness for the significance of being accepted.
An einem heißen Sommernachmittag in New York, Leslie versucht seine Bekannten zu erreichen. Jedoch niemand nimmt ab. Währenddessen erinnert er sich an vergangene Liebhaber und quälende Gedanken zwingen ihn, Episoden aus seinem Leben als schwuler Mann wieder zu durchleben.
Geschrieben vor dem Beginn der Schwulenrechtsbewegung in New York während der Stonewall-Unruhen von 1969, sensibilisiert das Stück für die Bedeutung akzeptiert zu werden.
