Dying Gaul Explores Cost of Doing Battle at Island City Stage
By Britan Haller for Florida Theatre Onstage
Like the ancient Roman statue upon which it is named, the ending of The Dying Gaul recognizes a hard-earned victory while exploring the cost of doing battle.
Island City Stage’s Artistic Director Andy Rogow describes this play by Craig Lucas as “powerful, edgy, shocking, and tragic.” It’s all those things, and more, and will have you pondering it long after you leave the theater. But we don’t want to say too much in fear of spoilers, so we will do our best to remain cryptic.
It’s 1995 in Los Angeles, and we open on a handsome young man, and an also handsome slightly older man in an office setting. The young man with the baby face (Robert) has written a screenplay about his gay lover dying of AIDS.
