A San Francisco-flavored comedy set during the height of the dot-com boom and bust, about a PR hack named Andy J. and his infatuation with Benji, a new co-worker who may or may not be gay. In his pursuit to find out which side Benji's bread is buttered on, Andy J. contends with his cynical but pragmatic roommate and with Benji's all too-perfect live-in girlfriend, not to mention the philosophies of Jonathan Livingston Seagull and. . .and the roses and. . .and why is a fourth wall needed anyway?! Although Benji is totally unaware of Andy J.'s true feelings, the audience is given full access to Andy J.'s elaborate imaginary schemes to woo his new hire. Clueless Benji unwittingly plays a part in leading his new boss on by pouring on the Midwestern charm and remaining coy about his sexuality. All audiences will be able to relate to the play's basic question: Is it love at first sight or just a terrible misreading of signals? A Beautiful Man is a contemporary comedy about unrequited love in the workplace. It is written in a style that allows actors to easily shed the "fourth wall". This play offers flexibility in set design and delivers beautiful insight.
