Book Presentation:
Playwright and screenwriter Martin Sherman dramatizes outsiders—gay, female, foreign, disabled, different in religion, class or color—skipping over quicksand as they strive to survive. This book analyzes and evaluates Sherman’s work, while correcting previously published errors and establishing the flavor of the critical debate. Devoting more attention to such internationally acclaimed works as Bent and Mrs. Henderson Presents, it also considers less well known and even unpublished and unproduced scripts as well as his working relationships with the luminaries of stage and screen who have appeared in, directed, and produced his plays and screenplays.

Press Reviews:
"An insightful and comprehensive account of Sherman’s career that offers detailed analysis of his practice and its criticism, interwoven with dozens of personal interviews with Sherman’s collaborators, as well as the playwright himself…invaluable for scholars and students of Sherman’s work"—Journal of Adaptation in Film and Performance.
