Overview
Terrence McNally’s hilarious farce is set in a gay bathhouse in the mid-1970s.

What he encounters there sets the scene for an old-fashioned, door-slamming farce, albeit with towel-clad men, bumbling detectives and Googie Gomez, an over-the-top, would-be Bette Midler looking for her big break.
