Description=In 1968 New York City - when being gay was still considered to be best kept behind closed doors - a group of friends gather for a raucous birthday party hosted by Michael (Jim Parsons), a screenwriter who spends and drinks too much, in honor of the sharp-dressed and sharp-tongued Harold (Zachary Quinto). Other partygoers include Donald (Matt Bomer), Michael's former flame, now mired in self-analysis; Larry (Andrew Rannells), a randy commercial artist living with Hank (Tuc Watkins), a school teacher who has just left his wife; Bernard (Michael Benjamin Washington), a librarian tiptoeing around fraught codes of friendship alongside Emory (Robin de Jesús), a decorator who never holds back; and a guileless hustler (Charlie Carver) hired to be Harold's gift for the night. What begins as an evening of drinks and laughs gets upended when Alan (Brian Hutchison), Michael's straight-laced college roommate, shows up unexpectedly and each man is challenged to confront long-buried truths that threaten the foundation of the group's tight bond / 2020 / countries=USA / directed by=Joe Mantello / 4287 Vote / Rating=7,1 / 10

This was a brave play at the time it was written. It is very much a mark of its time but the raging anger of the play just doesn't hold up anymore.
The casting and all the rest of it are wonderful but the tone is now perfectly tired. The psychological deconstruction, the confrontation, the subtext, innuendo and contrivance has been done a jillion times since then and it's no longer that interesting.
I sat through it and enjoyed it for the acting and set design, directing, etc. but it's now just doesn't work nearly as well.
