Torch Song
Trilogy Torch Song Trilogy is a collection of three plays by Harvey Fierstein rendered in three acts: International Stud, Fugue in a Nursery, and Widows and Children First! The story centers on Arnold Beckoff, a torch song-singing Jewish drag queen living in New York City in the late 1970 and 1980s. The four hour-plus play begins with a soliloquy in which he explains his cynical disillusionment with love. Each act focuses
on a different phase in Arnold's life. In the first, Arnold meets
Ed, who is uncomfortable with his bisexuality. In the second, two
years later, Arnold meets Alan, and the two settle down into a blissful
existence that includes plans to adopt a child, until tragedy strikes.
In the third, several years later, Arnold is a single father raising
gay teenager David. Arnold is forced to deal with his mother's intolerance
and disrespect when she visits from Florida. Huntington
