Take Me Out - Acting Edition (Acting Edition for Theater Productions)

Wonderful play. If you can not see it live it is worth reading. As much as gay rights have gotten better we are not at a point of equality yet and this play highlights what is missing while discussing how good society could be.

great read! complex set of characters for men and women

Good play

Great play, bought it for some monologues. Not sure what else to write?

The copy was perfect, thank you.

First saw it onstage, and that was wonderful, but it's still great to read. There are some particularly strong characters in here, and the story is still relevant, perhaps even slightly ahead of its time, from when it was produced.

I saw Take Me Out produced several years ago at the Rep in St. Louis. It is one of my favorites

「カミングアウトした人の苦悩」を描いた作品ではないと思う。カミングアウトしたのはスーパースターで、自信にあふれており(そこが問題なのだが)、それで悩んだりはしていない。「野球は民主主義社会の隠喩」というセリフがあるが、大リーグチームのメンバーに託して民主主義社会の現在と問題点を描いている作品として読めば巧み。確かに「人は喋らなければならない」のであり、少数者は、そもそも自らを語る言葉を持たない（持てないで閉じこもる）。文学が果たさなければならない役割がどこに残されているかを考えさせる作品でもあると思う。実際の舞台は、もっともっと刺激的だったろうにと残念。
