Gay and Lesbian Plays
This page contains the main list of plays about Gay Theatre. A listing on this page does not mean that the Playwright, Producer or Publisher are/were identified as gay, merely that the plays have a gay interest. This could be in the characterisation, theme or part or all of the subject matter.
Obviously everything is subjective so if you wish to add to the list, or have evidence of any inaccuracies, please contact doollee, feedback is most welcome.
The plays shown are an attempt to replicate and expand on the Theatre Section of www.shergoodforest.com, whose site has sadly closed, doollee is indebted to initial information from this site - but takes full responsibility for this listing which will be moderated by Raymond Port >>>. Please contact Raymond directly with additions/corrections.
