This edition contains for the first time ever both the original scripts for the three one-act plays ( The International Stud, Fugue in a Nursery, and Widows and Children First!) as they were performed in the 1970s, as well as the revised script for the 2017 revival that condensed all three into Torch Song. From a failed affair with a reluctant lover to a committed relationship with the promise of a stable family, Arnold's struggle for acceptance meets its greatest resistance when he faces off against the person whose approval is most important to him: his mother. What begins as a chance encounter in a New York nightclub leads drag performer Arnold Beckoff on a hilarious yet touching pursuit of love, happiness, and a life he can be proud of. A new edition of the classic drama portraying gay life in New York in the 1970s and 80s, winner of the Tony Award for Best Play, now coming to Broadway in a revival hailed by The New York Times as "irresistibly compelling."
