Winner of the 1995 Tony Award for Best Play and hailed by many critics as Terrence McNally’s finest play, Love! Valour! Compassion! centers around eight gay men who gather at the upstate New York home of celebrated dancer and choreographer Gregory Mitchell. Over the course of three holiday weekends, the men confront and analyze their lives, relationships, and friendships in a moving and hilarious exploration into love and loss in 90s America. As infidelity, AIDS, romance, and death infiltrate their friendship group, the men must decide who and what is most important when reality hits home. Set upon a mostly bare stage with the scenery imagined, Love! Valour! Compassion! finely treads the boundary between comedy and tragedy.
Editor’s Note: The play contains adult content and on-stage nudity.
