This play had everything going for it!  I had seen the original cast 20 earlier but the play remained as relevant – if not more relevant today.  The play has a nice organized plot with sharp character conflicts leading to a very satisfying climax.  This play also had a highly complex masculinity.  In fact, the play became a bit of a textbook on on being a man as it explored a most masculine, successful baseball player owning his homosexuality and seeing how it played through the various dynamics of his teammates and the sacred locker room.
