Synopsis

In this, the most out (and outrageous) romantic comedy written today, Paul Rudnick skewers every gay stereotype imaginable while fearlessly celebrating what makes the gay life-style so compelling and controversial.

Wildly funny...Just the sort of play Osca

Press Reviews

"Philip Kan Gotanda is the winner of the 2020 Legacy Playwrights Initiative Award. Reality mixes with the past to arouse and comfort a man going through the crises of entering middle age. ”Philip Kan Gotanda's DAY STANDING ON ITS HEAD is a wonder…It's a beautiful piece of theater…Gotanda has strung his elements together with imagination, grace and sensitivity…he imparts such a fresh, buoyant and humorous touch to the work that it shines with a poignant loveliness, like an array of Japanese lanterns glowing against a dark blue sky.“ —Oakland Tribune. ”…a journey as witty and engaging as it is indirect…elements of fantasy and reality and life and death become tangled in tantalizing ambiguity."
