Some Men and Deuce
Autor Terrence McNallyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 iun 2009
The New Yorker has called Terrence McNally “one of our most original and audacious dramatists and one of our funniest.” Now the four-time Tony Award–winning author of such classics as Love! Valor! Compassion! and Master Class returns with two heartrending and humorous plays about friendship, companionship, and love.
In Some Men, Terrence McNally takes us on a multigenerational journey of gay life in America. In interwoven vignettes, McNally uses the same characters at different points in their lives as gay men to address such issues as coming out, marriage, adoption, the military, and the AIDS crisis. In Deuce we meet Leona and Midge—two septuagenarian ladies doubles tennis champions who are reunited to be honored at a U.S. Open. As they watch the next generaion of female atheletes, these former tennis partners become embroiled in a verbal tête-à-tête as lively and nuanced as any match they ever played.

Notă biografică
Terrence McNally was the author of more than 50 plays, screenplays, and libretti. He won five Tony Awards, nominated for two more, and in 2019, he was awarded a Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theater. After his death in 2020, the New York Times noted, “Though the changes Mr. McNally wrote about were epochal for gay men, his plays were designed not to exclude. However furious, they are also ingratiating, emphasizing familiar situations, comic personalities and well-turned put-downs.” The same notice later identified “Mr. McNally ’s mature theme: that tragedy and comedy not only coexist but also, like all of us on earth, cohabit.”
