The show is an adaptation of a 1941 study of homosexuality in which “sex variants” were interviewed and assessed by a psychiatric researcher. The cast play interviewees and doctors and perform historical and contextual commentary. Some of the interviews have been adapted into songs by Stephen Trask, Martha Redbone and Aaron Whitby. It’s a fascinating, funny and quite poignant window into the queer world of the period. This is a Civilians production directed by Steve Cosson.
