Get a readers copy of the script for DIRTY SECRETS by Joe Marshall, a smart, gender-bent thriller that pokes fun at brainless gay stereotypes. It's all about Tom, who shows up at the home of Nick and Shane, a gay couple who live in Manhattan. Tom is depressed because he's just discovered that his boyfriend of eight years has had sex with another man. It turns out that Tom has come to torture Shane, to seek retribution for his messed up romance. It's the ways in which Tom carries out his revenge - first demanding sex with Shane, later seducing Nick - that move the play along. He has a worthy opponent in the snaky Shane, who trumps Tom's attempts at blackmail, but can't keep up with his nasty houseguest's vile temper. Dirty Secrets is the first play from award-winning playwright Joe Marshall ("The Gayest Christmas Pageant Ever!," "A Night in Vegas," "A Waning Gibbous Moon").
