Safe Sex

A collection containing the following three plays by Harvey Fierstein:

Manny and Jake

Safe Sex
Two recently reconciled male lovers confront the challenge of their on-again off-again relationship in the time of AIDS. Ghee an aging congenial gay man may be using guidelines for safe sex as an excuse for his fading sex drive. This dismays Mead a virile and no-nonsense blue-collar type. The emotional seesaw of their interactions creates the compelling dynamics of this fascinating short piece.

On Tidy Endings
A man has died of AIDS leaving behind a son a male lover and an ex-wife. She still loves him and accepts the fact that he was gay and that he died in the arms of his male lover who selflessly cared for him right up until the end.
