We went to see it at the Pasadena Playhouse. The first act was fun and spoke to a lot of things TG individuals feel. The second act turned dark very quickly and the ending was unsatisfying.

The writer is a gay activist and used the play to attack the memory of Virginia Prince ("Charlotte" in the play) , the founder of Tri-ess, who decided not to ally the organization with homosexuals. It's a clear case of the writer judging past events using current morals without considering the conditions of the time. I have friends who knew Virginia Prince and she wasn't portrayed fairly.
