ROUGH TRA : [DANGERO GAY EROTI]
* rough gay trade *
In playwright Kev Berry’s note the program for his play Rough Tra, he wr, “As [the four characters] I hope you gays the dience fd yourself lookg a mirror reflectg back your imperfectn, your love, your hope, your rage. That is, a righteo reflectn of what is to be a young metropolan gay person today, eply ncerned wh social jtice, personal and polil enrichment, and a level of self-awarens for our flaws that is jt ch beyond reproach. That’s what means to be a young gay metropolan today.
Perhaps now is the time for that kd of work, some kd of balance between the prosaic and the visceral, when the landspe for a lot of bigger gay thgs mostly flatters our looks. Broadly speakg, even the most poison-penned satire of gay people has a whiff of the enarg, like The Other Two or, yeah, even Bros.
ROUGH TRA REVIEW: GAY LIFE AS ECHO CHAMBER
The meang of ROUGH TRADE is gay men who are or affect to be gged and potentially vlent; also : such a gay person. * rough gay trade *
They don’t feel like people who claim enough self-awarens to navigate the change dynamic a way where they’re privy to the very polics of iendship self, gay or otherwise. For those privy to the gay metropolan experience, we’re meant to regnize the characters and be over-faiar wh their every gture and nce.
Its hyper-referentialy and s fairly overt liftg om other works (a dash of Edward Albee here, a sprkle of Mart Crowley there) aren’t (re)arranged such a way as to exame and nstct the “gay play” as has morphed over time.
Where Fake Friends’s work Circle Jerk bounc around apparat and mos to give a mented perversn of the gay play, Rough Tra’s paradoxil ward anxiety and aggrsive nfince about s inty feels unimagative. What’s tratg about Rough Tra is that skims and skids on and around tertg ias: remptn the age of sentialism, the possibily of real change and growth, proximy to power, self-righteons as self-stctive, gayns and arrted velopment, the uncerta future of gay art (cludg the very medium that you’re watchg), sellg out the tim, sublimated sir and vlence, and on and so on. And the play’s skepticism of his tstworths as some kd of moral pass is void of the plexy required to have your gay virtue signaler and nmn him too.

Berry regurgat Twter thread talkg pots, whout really fdg the mily of gay speech and transformg to rhythmic dialogue, much ls a more pellg iologil angle, and Tobey don’t so much stage the dialogue as he jt sticks actors on a stage to speak . There’s a richns to gay homosocialy, and the ways has been picted the theater, that Rough Tra seems terted talkg about but disterted actually hong as a theatril experience.
But ultimately the problem is that if any of the broken shards are supposed to cut ep and reveal somethg, Rough Tra jt giv a surface wh the bleary image of some people who might sorta look and sorta sound like some gay people you know, but also not que.
