Press Quotes

“A powerful and fascinating excursion into the nightmare world of homosexual prostitution. Although not for the squeamish, the impressive debut play by Alan Bowne is utterly convincing.” —Variety

“A harrowing drama — the world drawn by Bowne with such nose-rubbing honesty is a reality we all know exists.” —New York Post

“Simply dazzling, a sharply focused nether world, full of danger and surpassing sadness. These boys live on the bitter edge with survival a matter of day and night doubt. They’re eerie men-children thrust from pubescence into a premature sort of middle age. There isn’t room in their world for the conventional emotions.” —Gannett Newspapers
