Barry Child at TOSOS II acts as agent: tosos2@nyc.rr.com. "A quintessentially urban dramatist. . . Doric Wilson specializes in stylish farce, ironic comedy of wit, and urban satire. . . his combination of fantasy and whimsy and his intellectual dialectic suggests the touch of a Giraudoux or a Shaw. . . yet underlying his often caustic comedy is surprisingly romantic sensibility"

This miraculous text and CD combo takes you back to the birthplace of Off-Off Broadway through the ambient sounds of Caffe Cino itself and the voices of the original cast: Larry Neil Clayton, Paxton Whitehead, Karl Schenzer, Gary Filsinger and Jane Lowry. The recording also captures Joe Cino in one of his legendary passing-the-hat speeches. | |||||

Synopsis: | subtitled "a polemical satire in two acts," takes place entirely in a gay bar (and was first produced in a gay bar). Although its ensemble cast of urban characters resembles those in Lanford Wilson's Balm in Gilead, The West Street Gang focuses exclusively on gay concerns. In addition to representing the milieu of a gay bar of the era, the play explores the ramifications of a gaybashing and includes a character named Bnita Aryant, a reference to 1970s anti-gay activist Anita Bryant (a revised version of the play, updated for the new millennium, allows for the substitution of anti-gay radio personality, Dr. Laura Schlessinger).
