AB - Jill Dolan broke new ground in extending the feminist analysis of representation to the theater, offering a provocative critical study that challenges our assumptions about the structure of representation. In a similar vein this study extends the gay/queer analysis of representation to representative American gay drama—Terrence McNally’s Lips Together, Teeth Apart, Tony Kushner's Angels in America, and Doug Wright's I Am My Own Wife. In doing so this study defines gay/queer drama analysing the importance of multi-role playing strategy. A gay drama, Teeth Apart is similar to bourgeois feminist drama in its presentation of “a slice of life” realism perpetuating degrading and static homosexual/heterosexual stereotypes. Like materialist feminist approach Kushner’s Angels in America is Brechtian but a spectrum of gender becomes available only to male characters. Wright’s I Am My Own Wife is a queer drama about the role playing and ephemeral nature of truth reminding cultural feminist Megan Terry’s transformation method. Wright’s male transvestite homosexual hero finally deconstructs sexuality binary emphasizing genderqueer.
