In ‘Next Fall,’ Playwright Explores Interfaith, Same-Sex Relationships

New Fall

Early in Geoffrey Nauffts’s acclaimed new play “Next Fall,” two gay men linger at the breakfast table after their first night of making love. Before tucking into his eggs, the one named Luke closes his eyes to pray. His new boyfriend, Adam, looks on aghast. As Mr. Nauffts’s stage directions specify, “The honeymoon has just ended.”

Whatever the state of the honeymoon, the relationship between Luke and Adam has, in fact, just begun. As the play charts their four years together as partners — de facto spouses, really — the issue of religion hovers over their relationship, threatening to tear them apart.

This sounds like a great play Daniel. Not sure when I'll get to NYC next, but definitely worth seeing if/when I get there.
