This trilogy is constructed of three moving plays told over three acts: International Stud, Fugue in a Nursery, and Widows and Children First! The life of Arnold Beckoff, a torch song-singing, Jewish, drag queen living in New York City is dramatized over the span of the late 1970 and 1980s, through Stonewall, and the AIDS crises, and other ground-breaking milestones for the LTGB community. Told with a likeable, human voice, Arnold struggles through love, disease, and the challenges of child-rearing. --From publisher's description.
