Praise for Some Men : "Terrence McNally''s play Some Men is a superb theatrical experience--an evocative, funny, poignant and wise tour through gay life over the last eighty or so years. Two classes of people would benefit from seeing it: gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered people interested in learning in a very entertaining way what life has been like for us in recent times; and heterosexual people who''d like to learn the same thing." -- The Honorable Barney Frank "A breezy series of sketches . droll observations on the difficulties of translating the classic gay sensibility . a pageant of the ages á la Noël Coward''s Cavalcade." -- The New York Times "Harks back to the knife-edge Absurdism of McNally''s own earliest phase; short bursts of excitement are a youthful trait that an oldster can weave into more knowing patterns." -- The Village Voice "A moving and funny encyclopedia of relationships . a lush, mixed bouquet of sex, pain, and laughs, and sometimes big laughs happen in the painful parts.

Not a quick montage, situations are presented with depth and poignancy." -- CurtainUp "Funny and thoughtful . gripping . excellent touches throughout, heartbreaking scenes and funny ones." -- Talkin'' Broadway "A resounding success . The history of the gay mainstream has probably never had a fuller telling onstage than here." -- The New York Blade "A chronicle of gay life in America over the past eighty years . a lively, invaluable, fast-moving history lesson that manages to instruct and entertain at the same time.

Emotionally compelling, often quite funny." -- Associated Press "A thoughtful, amusing and often touching celebration." -- The Bergen Record "The most sincere and authentic examination of its kind ever to find its way to the stage. Its rare honesty and candor make it one of the best plays McNally has written and one of the best plays of the season." -- nytheatre.com "Terrence McNally develops his panoramic study in typically fluent, thoughtful and compassionate terms. As in life and love, abundant humor helps make this uplifting drama go." -- The Star-Ledger Praise for Deuce : "A play that kept me thoroughly entertained and engaged throughout .

relevant, entertaining, and attractive as its two trump cards." -- Robert Osborne, The Hollywood Review "Without ever getting polemical or falling back on obvious clichés, the playwright talks about perceptions of aging (by both those going through it and the younger ones looking at them), inequities between men and women, the commercialization and mass marketing of sports (and the so-called progress that''s commensurate with that), racism, and homophobia. McNally meditates here on what makes some people extraordinary and worthy of our worshipful gaze. One of the best new dramas of this particular season. For me, it''s the most fulfilling theatre event of the year, one I will cherish and that I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to see." -- Martin Denton, nytheatre.com "Advantage McNally . McNally delivers a consistently intriguing, wide-ranging meditation on contemporary life, media, aging, and the lost art of personal grace--even when the language gets a little salty.

McNally writes two mature characters that are not maudlin, sentimental, or cute in any way." -- Christopher Byrne, Gay City News Praise for Terrence McNally: "Mr. McNally is an extraordinary playwright. His plays are witty, compassionate and always written with a stunning love of the theatre. -- Wendy Wasserstein "Terrence McNally is one of our most original and audacious dramatists and one of our funniest." -- The New Yorker "We must be oh, so grateful for Terrence McNally, master of the high-wire act. His vision celebrates the bravery of lonely souls; his voice resounds with the anguish and joy of life itself. Out of the mundane, he shapes the opera of the human heart.

I look with wonder at this body of work." -- Swoosie Kurtz.
