In the spirit of Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City, Lust Angeles is a sexed-up, wildly irreverent, roller coaster ride through the lives of nine gay men in mid-90’s Los Angeles, in the pre-drug-cocktail days when the stakes were as undeniable as the urges. Through its sheer scope and pace—and its unabashed language and sexual situations—the play offers a sensory onslaught that exemplifies its era . . . a point in time when cable, computers, and culture were beginning to stimulate us faster than we could respond. Through their overstimulated exploits, the men of Lust Angeles look for fulfillment in all the wrong places, until all the recreational strip-downs are finally replaced by an emotional one, and instant gratification becomes secondary to the deeper longings for home and family.

The three-act play runs just under three hours, including two intermissions. It has a lot of characters. It requires a lot of actors. How many actors? Well . . . significant double-casting is possible.

Act One can be accessed here. It is recommended that you also open the Breakdown of Characters, to help keep track during the orgy of exposition (so to speak).
