Way </span></i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black">by Tom Jacobson is a <u>two-person
play</u> and a real tour de force for two good actors. The two characters are
themselves actors, Brown and Warren, and the play is based on the true story of
two actual actors who hired themselves out in 1914 to the Long Beach, CA police
department to entrap gay men in private clubs and public restrooms for “oral
sodomy.” But it’s a fictionalized, very theatrical version, starting with the
two actors Brown and Warren waiting backstage before a movie audition. It turns
out to be a long wait and to pass the time, Warren challenges Brown to an
improvisation – which becomes the story of entering the hidden world of
restrooms and private parties (mostly the latter) and the interactions with the
men they ensnare.</span></p>

roles, dropping in and out of character (i.e. back to Brown and Warren) in
rapid succession. The play is as much about the nature of acting (both onstage
and off) as it is about the relationship between the two men, sexual identity,
institutionalized corruption and the conscience of civil servants carrying out
questionable duties. (Also been described as “hilariously funny and
simultaneously deadly serious”)</span></p>
