In the Sumer of 2007, Gus Marcantonio, a retired longshoreman and cousin of the late congressman Vito Marcantonio, summons his three adult children to the family's Brooklyn brownstone to vote on the question of his committing suicide. The Intelligent Homosexual's Guide to Capitalism & Socialism with a Key to the Scriptures explores revolution, radicalism, marriage, sex, prostitution, politics, real estate, unions of all kinds, and debts both unpaid and unpayable. Originally commissioned and produced by the Guthrie Theater, the play will premiere in the spring of 2011 in a co–production between New York's Public and Signature theaters.
