The Civilians, one of Off Broadway's most consistently clever and original troupes, thrust themselves deep into the queer sexual culture of yesteryear in a cheeky docutheater collage adapted from a 1941 medical study. Along with detailed interviews and what passed at the time for scientific evaluation, the show features original songs by composers including Martha Redbone, Stephen Trask and the Civilians' own late (and greatly missed) Michael Friedman.
