REVIEWS:
CRITIC'S PICK! "A daringly frank, funny and affecting new play [...] Mr. Seavey's portrait of young gay New Yorkers negotiating the sometimes thorny nature of love and intimacy has an arresting, even bruising honesty."
The New York Times
"Recalling both the furious politics of Kramer's AIDS jeremiads and the sentimental pathos of Mart Crowley's pre-Stonewall classic [The Boys in the Band], Homos is as essential to our moment as those works were to theirs [...] Seavey is dealing with very large ideas that have bedeviled the gay 'community' -- and everyone else -- forever [...] Homos, or Everyone in America [is] a play you should see only if you care about either of its title characters."
New York Magazine
"This fascinating and fearless new play brims with universally recognizable emotions, even if they are dressed up in very culturally specific drag [...] Seavey adds his voice with unflinching clarity: He asserts the universal need for love, protection, and real intimacy."
