Title: "We Can Always Call them Bulgarians" - The Emergence of Lesbians and Gay Men on the American Stage Author: Kaier Curtin Published by: Alyson Publications, 1987 ISBN: 0-932870-34-1 [Trade paperback, 333 pages]
In this landmark work, stage historian Kaier Curtin charts the often tempestuous struggle to get lesbian and gay roles onto the American stage. Despite legal prohibition and often vocal opposition, many such characters did appear on Broadway during the first half of this century. The controversies these plays caused make up an often neglected part of theater history.
