Sheldon A. Scott is presenting his short one-man show on the main stage of the Goethe Institut. He portrays a number of characters, all patients or friends of one therapist, and all dealing with the pain of being known by the hurtful name "faggot". We never hear how Dr. Gray responds to these men, but we hear their cries for help all too well, as they try to come to terms with the abuse that others heap on them, and the hatred that they cannot help but internalize to some degree.
This is a very moving play, and Scott has done a great job of writing it, as well as performing it.
