Absolute masterpiece. Is perhaps one of the best fictional characters (along with Belize) and Louis is one of the worst.

The Great Question before us is: 
Are we doomed? The Great Question before us is: Will the Past release us? 
The Great Question before us is: Can we Change? In Time? And we all desire that Change will come.

Wild. Absolutely wild. These characters are rich and so messy. The way Roy Cohn's character is written in particular is horrifyingly resonant re: the last few years. I adore Belize and love how awful and pretentious and selfish Louis is, and how sneakingly real he feels. I can't pretend to understand half of Perestroika LOL but this play remains an integral part of AIDS history for a reason.
