Michael Urie, Tom Beckett, Thomas Jay Ryan, Matthew Schneck & Sam Breslin Wright in 'The Temperamentals'
Critically acclaimed gay rights drama The Temperamentals plays its final performance at off-Broadway's New World Stages. Written by Jon Marans, the play stars Michael Urie and Thomas Jay Ryan.
The Temperamentals tells the story of two men, communist Harry Hay and young Viennese refugee and designer Rudi Gernreich, weaving together the personal and the political to tell a relatively unknown chapter in gay history. The show explores the deepening relationship between the two as they build the first gay rights organization in the United States. The play’s characters consist of the actual men who founded the Mattachine Society, as well as prominent figures of the time such as Frank Tavener of the House Un-American Committee and the director Vincente Minnelli.
