Queer Canadian Playwright Dies
Wow, John Herbert died, age 74. I've never seen or read his famous play Fortune And Men's Eyes; the gay.com obit gave me background on Herbert I didn't know before.
Like, he got into prison in the first place because he was mugged; his attackers claimed he was soliciting sex so he went to prison, not them.
I must read the play now; I think it was made into a film too.
RIP, John Herbert.
