Overview

Three men – a teacher, an aspiring jazz pianist and an unemployed actor – are in a run-down Manhattan apartment. All have lost their jobs and are shunned by their families; they have AIDS. Their interaction with a psychiatrist, heard but not seen throughout the play, and the entrance of an ex-lover, healthy yet unsure of his future, provide a forum for exploring the meaning of friendship, loyalty and love.

By celebrating the lives of men who, in the face of death, become fearlessly life-embracing, the play explores the human side of the AIDS crisis.
