Comg Clean buted 1982 and marked Elyot’s start as a profsnal playwright and there is a scrappy air of melodrama to the text that’s evened out by the tth found his ank look at gay life.
Gay men were not necsarily forced to stay the closet, but they lacked the equali we now have. The are gay men a society that is the midst of big chang, for Tony and Greg to be celebratg five years together… for Greg to be loved by Tony’s mother… for Robert (an actor by tra) to be able to discs his love life wh straight actor iends… the were once extraordary thgs. This returned n featur many of the same st, and fely holds on to the ge athetic – the set, a disheveled flat London, looks disturbgly dirty (the neat eak me was not happy) more like stunt digs than a gay uple’s home.
Comg Clean isn’t Elyot’s bt play (that would be My Night Wh Reg IMO) but remas an tertg and important piece of UK gay theatre nohels.
