Messy White Gays

The play then spins a comedy around what they should do with the body as various neighbors show up for a planned brunch. The characters introduced are obviously stereotypes that we have seen many times on stage but they are given playful personalities and witty banter that keeps the audience with them. It was so good to know that the sparring between the aging and the young is kept to a respectful minimum so that it doesn’t become a blood-fest. There is an interesting “woke” element to the play as these upwardly mobile gays consider just how racist they actually may be – – and how their efforts to broaden their perspectives have actually done any good in that regard. However, the more they try to prove themselves woke, the deeper the hole they dig. Plot-wise all comes together like a classic Agatha Christie murder mystery – but by that point you really don’t care – you’ve had your laughs and gotten your monies worth so you are good to go.
