An ambitious, eye-opening tale of gay persecution, circa 1914.

"The Twentieth Century Way" was awarded the 2011 PEN Award for Drama and the 2010 NY International Fringe Festival Award for Overall Excellence in Production of a Play, garnering critical accolades from publications like the New York Times and Variety. Based on a little-known incident in history, this theatrical thrill ride explores the collision of reality and fantasy as two actors, auditioning for a film, end up juggling roles that eventually lead to entrapment of homosexuals for "social vagrancy" in Long Beach, California circa 1914.
Warning: This play contains male nudity.
