First Published in 1996. Part of a series of ‘Studies in Modern Drama’, Volume 7 This volume Studies in Modern Drama collects essays on contemporary theatre which reveal the changing face of the world, as well as challenges to the boundaries of traditional stage production. Authors examine familiar texts in new settings, discovering what editor Judy Lee Oliva calls “the effect of cultural- specific gestures, stances and the nuance of words,” so that audiences and critics are forced to recognize stereotypes and re-evaluate older critical methods. Topics range from directing gay and working-class theatre in Scotland to producing American and British drama in Holland, Belgium, and Poland. New voices in the theatre are heard, and old ones are put to new tests. What remains is the power of performance to inspire emotional and intellectual response. Writers, directors, costume designers, producers, and critics provide an uncommon range of perspectives to the changing roles of theatre in an increasingly global community.

Harry is a homeless drunk. One night, to avoid freezing on the streets, he links up with Roland, a young Navajo drag queen. Roland takes Harry in because he is reminded how his alcoholic father died of exposure. Harry works his way into Roland's life, first out of a desire to stay in the comfortable apartment, but later out of desire for Roland. Harry quits drinking and gets a job as a janitor. Slowly, Harry and Roland build a life together. However, a secret from Harry's past haunts them. A priest's brutal beating of Roland's best friend forces Harry to confront his past. Neither the police nor private attorneys will help the beating victim fight the powerful church. Faced with remaining silent and allowing the beating to go unpunished, or risking his newfound life by confronting his past, Harry chooses the later. With Roland's help, Harry faces his own crimes and reclaims his license to practice law. So armed, he begins gathering evidence. Along the way he must battle a corrupt attorney who will do anything to protect the interests of his top paying client. But Harry perseveres, bringing the case to trial where a surprise witness links the Archbishop to the scandal.
