fortune and men 's eyes is a 1967 play and 1971 film written by john herbert about a young man 's experience in prison , exploring themes of homosexuality and sexual slavery .

the title comes from william shakespeare 's sonnet 29 , which begins with the line " when in disgrace with fortune and men 's eyes " .

it has been translated into 40 languages and produced in over 100 countries .

it is the most published canadian play , and won the dominion drama festival 's massey award in 1968 , which herbert refused , and the floyd s. chalmers canadian play award in 1975 .

the play was inspired in part by herbert 's own experience ; he spent four months imprisoned in a youth reformatory after having been convicted of wearing drag in 1947 .

the character of queenie in the play is an authorial self-insertion .

herbert encountered difficulties in getting the play staged .

after being rejected by several directors , herbert , on the recommendation of robertson davies , who frequented the university club at which herbert worked as a waiter , sent the script to douglas campbell at the stratford festival .

campbell accepted the play for the festival 's young actors workshop and assigned it to bruno gerussi to direct , but the stratford festival 's board of directors forbade the production from being staged publicly .

herbert sent a copy of the play to renowned canadian theatre critic nathan cohen , who replied , " i hope you understand that there 's not a chance in the world of this getting a professional production in canada .

i 've taken the liberty of sending it to a producer of my acquaintance in new york and , of course , promise nothing . "

cohen recommended the play to broadway press agent david rothenberg , who in turn recommended it to dustin hoffman .

hoffman workshopped the play at the new york actors studio in 1966 , taking the role of rocky , while jon voight played smitty .

in 1967 the play , produced by rothenberg , premiered off-broadway at the actors playhouse from 23 february 1967 to january 1968 .

reviews were initially mixed , and many reviewers were shocked by the subject matter .

reviewer herbert whittaker wrote in the globe and mail that the play was " the art of washing our dirty linen in the neighbor 's yard . "

cohen wrote in the toronto star that the play " lifts the carpet and shows what is underneath " , and that " it asks deeply disturbing questions about long-established personal and social assumptions .

it does not enrich our vision .

it undermines it . "

the panel discussions held in conjunction with the play led to the creation of the fortune society , a new york city-based advocacy and support organization for former prisoners .

the play toured to chicago , san francisco and montreal and ran for 15 weeks at the central library theatre in toronto .

in 1969 , the play was produced and directed by sal mineo at the coronet theatre in los angeles .

don johnson played the lead role of smitty , a young man sentenced to six months in prison for marijuana possession , who eventually becomes the sexual subordinate of rocky , another inmate .

michael greer played the role of queenie , smitty 's cellmate .

this production garnered more critical approval .

in the 1971 film , directed by harvey hart , wendell burton played smitty , michael greer reprised his role as queenie , and zooey hall played rocky .

it was filmed in quebec , canada .

but that doesn’t mean that fortune and men’s eyes has lost its punch . far from it , especially in a production as intimate and in - your - face as this one plans to be .

when canadian john herbert’s searing prison drama , fortune and men’s eyes , first opened off - broadway in 1967 , the star’s nathan cohen praised it for asking “deeply disturbing questions about long - established personal and social assumptions , ” while the globe and mail’s herbert whittaker condemned it for practising “the art of washing our dirty linen in the neighbour’s yard . ”

john herbert , the canadian playwright whose experiences in a reformatory inspired his influential play about prison homosexuality , ' ' fortune and men ' s eyes , ' ' died on friday at his home in toronto . he was 75 .

fair , and composer macdermot ' s ( hair ) score is totally wrong for what ' s on screen . songs ; " it ' s free " ( michael greer ) , " when rain touches summer " ( macdermot , william dumareso , sung by leata galloway ) and " fortune and men ' s eyes " ( macdermot , sung by ronnie dyson ) .

john herbert , the canadian playwright of the international classic gay prison drama fortune and men ' s eyes , speaks about the oppression gays faced after world war ii and how he came to write his play in the 1960s . david rothenberg , its new york producer , describes the fortune society which assists prisoners transition back into society .

the play , which opened at the actors playhouse in greenwich village , took its title from the words of a shakespearean sonnet : ' ' when in disgrace with fortune and men ' s eyes / i all alone beweep my outcast state . . . ' '

director david galligan has updated john herbert ' s " fortune and men ' s eyes " by a decade , to 1978 , and changed one of the characters from black to caucasian . the changes don ' t add much , but they don ' t hurt . and the 1967 play still packs a punch in this surehanded production .

although ' ' fortune and men ' s eyes ' ' received mixed reviews from the critics , it became a smash hit . performances were followed on some nights by freewheeling panel discussions that involved former convicts and were moderated by mr . rothenberg , who produced the play with mitchell nestor .

galligan’s updating seems mainly an excuse to use songs including gloria gaynor’s “i will survive” and foreigner’s “hot blooded” as ironic source music .

under the name john herbert , brundage wrote the play for which he is best known , fortune and men ' s eyes , in 1963 . an autobiographically based prison drama , it premiered in 1967 off - broadway and from there went on to international success still unmatched by any other canadian dramatic work .

a month after ' ' fortune and men ' s eyes ' ' opened , mr . herbert said in an interview , he was working as a waiter at the university club of toronto , when a judge in his 80 ' s called him over and said , ' ' you ' re getting a lot of attention in the papers . ' '

the fortune society’s mission is to support successful reentry from incarceration and promote alternatives to incarceration , thus strengthening the fabric of our communities .

" fortune and men ' s eyes " populates a prison with a similarly imaginative selection except this time everyone is homosexual , so we ' re supposed to know immediately that the movie is about an important issue . it is about men who are kept behind prison bars and away from women , and subjected to degradation by the prison ' s homosexual ruling class . this time the story is mostly about the italian , who is named rocky , and the kid , who is named smitty .

perhaps the ultimate irony of " fortune and men ' s eyes " can be found in the response from the ( apparently ) largely swish audiences the film is attracting . assuming that the film was intended as a serious expose of prison conditions , it ' s a little unsettling to hear cheers for a gang rape . you can ' t have it both ways .

written in 1967 by john herbert , fortune and men ' s eyes has been produced in forty translations in over one hundred countries . two years before the 1969 stonewall riots in new york signaled the beginning of a militant gay liberation movement , fortune was the first play to dramatize in an often shocking manner society ' s treatment of homosexuals and inhumane prison conditions . under canadian criminal law , homosexual acts were punishable by up to fourteen years in prison until 1969 . herbert ' s play forced both theatre audiences and the theatre itself to acknowledge the existence and rights of homosexuals . fortune opened doors for other gay and lesbian playwrights to depict gays and lesbians on stage in a more open , realistic , non - stereotypical and non - caricatured manner .

' ' fortune and men ' s eyes , ' ' which opened off broadway in 1967 and ran for more than a year in the united states , was later produced in more than 60 countries . it not only drew attention to degradation and corruption within the prison system but also inspired the formation of the fortune society to heighten public awareness of the conditions for inmates and the problems they faced after their release . former prisoners turned to this organization for food and clothing , help in finding jobs and support from those who had already made the difficult readjustment to life outside .

when fortune and men ' s eyes premiered in centennial year 1967 , it shocked critics and audiences in both new york and canada . norman nadel , reviewing the play for the new york tribune , claimed the homosexual drama was so disgusting that the mention of someone vomiting in the prison ' s off - stage toilet came like a breath of spring . herbert whittaker , in the globe and mail , called the play " the art of washing our dirty linen in the neighbor ' s yard . " nathan cohen , in the toronto star

fortune won the dominion drama festival ' s massey award in 1968 , which brundage refused , and the chalmers outstanding play award in 1975 . brundage had little success with subsequent plays , but fortune remains one of the few true classics of the canadian theatre .

but herbert persisted in cross - dressing in prison , living the character of the rebellious " queenie " inmate he would create 16 years later in fortune and men ' s eyes . for the guelph reformatory ' s annual christmas show in 1947 , he secretly prepared a dramatic black evening dress with a piece of black satin twisted around his head like a parisian headdress to cover his shaven head , and sang a dietrich - like parody about love .

written and revised from 1963 to 1966 , fortune and men ' s eyes is set in a canadian prison for youth and deals with society ' s injustice towards gay people , the brutality and homosexuality within prisons , the corruption of police and guards , the education in crime for first offenders , and the painful need for friendship , affection and love between prisoners . as herbert himself has stated about the play ' s plea for the acceptance of human diversity , " i do not believe that any community can learn to live with the many societies of the world unless it first learns to live with the many factions within itself . "

everybody ? yeah . everybody in the entire prison is homosexual . that ' s one of the funny things about the prison . the other thing is that the characters apparently have unlimited access to all sorts of corridors and showers and places where you ' d think a well - run prison might have a guard or two . but that doesn ' t matter much , because " fortune and men ' s eyes " isn ' t a serious study of prison homosexuality ; it ' s a melodramatic soap opera that exploits its story and actors and ( especially ) the credibility of the audience .

after ' ' fortune and men ' s eyes , ' ' mr . herbert went on to write 16 more plays , but few were given professional productions and none had the same success . for the last 25 years , he was the artistic director of the maverick theater in toronto , of which he was a co - founder . his principal source of income was teaching at the three schools of art .

when in disgrace with fortune and men ' s eyes , i all alone beweep my outcast state , and trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries , and look upon myself and curse my fate , wishing me like to one more rich in hope , featured like him , like him with friends possessed , desiring this man ' s art , and that man ' s scope , with what i most enjoy contented least ; yet in these thoughts myself almost despising , haply i think on thee—and then my state , like to the lark at break of day arising from sullen earth sings hymns at heaven ' s gate ; for thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings , that then i scorn to change my state with kings .

twenty years after its first staging here , john herbert ' s ' ' fortune and men ' s eyes ' ' has been revived at the actors ' playhouse , where it had its first run . we have seen many plays , films and television programs about sexual power struggles in prisons since then , so the shock value of this story about a canadian boys ' reformatory has virtually disappeared - and that works to the benefit of the play . mr . herbert ' s four young inmates are much more compelling emotionally when their actions do not seem quite so astonishing as they once did . and the plot of the play seems both simpler and subtler .

" fortune and men ' s eyes " ( or , " the boys in the band go to jail " ) is yet another artfully disguised remake of those world war ii movies about platoons that had one of everything . you remember . there was an italian named rocky , a jew who wore glasses and made the big liberal speech about brotherhood , a guy from brooklyn , a rawboned farm boy , and a kid . every platoon had a kid , who was known as the kid .

playwright , born john herbert brundage in toronto , ontario , october 13 , 1926 ; died june 22 , 2001 , in toronto . bill glassco , who directed herbert ' s best - known play , fortune and men ' s eyes in 1969 , has called john herbert " the single most important figure of the decade " in the creation of toronto ' s alternate theatre of the 1960s . his mother was a high school teacher , who studied painting with arthur lismer , and encouraged john to paint , sculpt , and costume design . as a youth in toronto , herbert saw touring stars like bette davis and gloria swanson at the royal alexandra theatre , and was inspired by american films and actresses like greta garbo , marlene dietrich , and joan crawford .

the twelve editions of fortune and men ' s eyes published by grove press in new york since 1967 have made it the most published canadian play . it won the 1975 chalmers award for best canadian play , and has been published in several canadian play anthologies ( in richard perkyns , ed . major plays of the canadian theatre 1934 - 1984 . toronto : irwin , 1984 ; in richard plant , ed . modern canadian drama . markham , ontario : penguin , 1984 ; and in jerry wasserman , ed . modern canadian plays , vancouver : talonbooks , 1985 , 1993 and 2000 .

it might be argued that the closer to the ’90s “fortune” is set , the less likely smitty is to be as naive as he’s initially presented . and would a prisonguard be making $ 50 a week in 1978 ?

herbert also sent a copy of the play to nathan cohen who felt that no theatre in canada would stage a public performance . in 1966 , cohen recommended fortune to new york producer david rothenberg who had just produced megan terry ' s internationally acclaimed anti - vietnam war play viet rock . rothenberg loved the play and passed it on to dustin hoffman who had made his new york acting debut in 1965 . hoffman , a member of the famous new york actors studio ( home of the naturalistic " method " style of acting ) was interested in the part of " rocky " in fortune and along with jon voight as " smitty " was among the first actors involved in the 1966 actors studio workshop of the play . workshop discussions were led by the actors studio head lee strasberg . three years before the 1969 stonewall riots and two years before the production of mart crowley ' s the boys in the band , strasberg believed the theatre hadn ' t dealt with homosexuality and prison life in an honest , non - caricatured manner . he thought fortune and men ' s eyes was a unique play that would open doors to a previously taboo subject and made herbert a life member of the actors studio .

in the 1940s it was illegal for a male to be dressed as a woman in public , a violation called " disguised by night . " herbert ' s feminine physical appearance made him look like a high - class fashion model when dressed as a woman . as a man , he was easily spotted as a homosexual and was frequently taunted and even physically attacked by straight men and the police . in the fall of 1947 , herbert was attacked by a group of young thugs who tried to rob him . when the police intervened , his attackers falsely claimed that herbert had solicited them for sex and testified to this effect in court . he was sentenced to four months imprisonment in the guelph reformatory , spending his 21st birthday in prison in october of 1947 . following his release in february of 1948 , he was again arrested in drag and imprisoned at the mimico reformatory for " gross indecency . " corporal punishment was still practiced in canadian prisons . herbert ' s experiences in jail ( he was beaten and raped in a gym storeroom at the guelph reformatory , and locked into an iron whipping machine with hip and ankle clamps and beaten on the buttocks by a guard wielding a piece of cowhide strap until he fainted at mimico ) provided him with the raw material for his drama fortune and men ' s eyes .

“we try to play that all of these characters want to be loved and that can be hard when there’s gang rape involved and a lot of really brutal racism . ”

only eighteen of shakespeare ' s plays were published separately in quarto editions during his lifetime ; a complete collection of his works did not appear until the publication of the first folio in 1623 , several years after his death . nonetheless , his contemporaries recognized shakespeare ' s achievements . francis meres cited " honey - tongued " shakespeare for his plays and poems in 1598 , and the chamberlain ' s men rose to become the leading dramatic company in london , installed as members of the royal household in 1603 .

herbert’s play had trouble getting on initially because of its content and treatment , until no less a personage than the late novelist robertson davies mentored herbert and suggested he give it to the stratford festival , where douglas campbell and bruno gerussi became its champions and organized a workshop .

not long after ' ' fortune and men ' s eyes ' ' opened , mr . herbert , who was visiting the united states , was told by a government official that he had to leave the country because of his status as an ex - convict . mr . rothenberg said that after spending seven months filling out forms to enable him to return , mr . herbert called an official in buffalo from his home in toronto . mr . herbert said he was a writer and wanted to go to chicago , where his play was opening after its new york run . mr . rothenberg said that mr . herbert was told , ' ' listen , prostitutes can ' t get in either , and some of them are pretty famous .

in france , only a few years after the student riots of 1968 , the french - language production of fortune at the théâtre athenée 1971 - 72 became a cause célèbre protesting government censorship of the stage . at the play ' s opening night , the audience included luminaries such as jean - paul sartre , jean genet , melina mercuri , simone signoret and jeanne moreau . right - wing governments tried to close productions in turkey , argentina and south africa where fortune was mounted with a racially mixed cast .

to this day , the play continues to affect audiences in countries where prison reform and discrimination against gay people are still strong public issues . in 1999 fortune ran for five months in mexico city , produced by the mexican authors society .

in 1594 , shakespeare joined the lord chamberlain ' s company of actors , the most popular of the companies acting at court . in 1599 shakespeare joined a group of chamberlain ' s men that would form a syndicate to build and operate a new playhouse : the globe , which became the most famous theater of its time . with his share of the income from the globe , shakespeare was able to purchase new place , his home in stratford .

set in an unidentified prison , “ fortune ” follows the arrival of fresh young smitty and his debasement at the hands of his cellmates . the three are as stereotyped as the village people : queenie’s a flamboyant fellow whose repertoire of impersonations includes what seems to be every femme star of the ‘ 30s ; rocky is a new york street tough ; and mona ( for “mona lisa” ) is a quiet , submissive man whose relationship to the others changes throughout the play’s 2 1 / 2 - month time frame .

other plays include : born of medusa ' s blood ( 1972 ) , omphale and the hero ( forest hill chamber theatre , toronto , 1974 ) , and some angry summer songs ( 1976 - four short works ) .

following rejections by george luscombe , artistic director of toronto workshop productions / twp , and canadian director george mccowan , herbert submitted an early version of fortune to douglas campbell at the stratford festival . campbell accepted the play for the festival ' s 1965 young actors ' workshop and assigned bruno gerussi to direct the play . richard monette , the current stratford festival artistic director , was cast as the androgynous " mona . " but because of the play ' s homosexual subject matter , the stratford board of directors forbade the single planned public performance , and it was performed privately for the stratford actors .

john herbert has also danced professionally , and lectured at ryerson , glendon college , york university , and the university of toronto . he has also given writing and acting workshops .

queenie , rocky and mona remain pretty much the same people from beginning to end ; steven walter - kirk and alex d’andrea are fine , with the former getting all of the good lines ; david packer’s performance as mona is the most subtle of the bunch and , in many ways , the most effective .

produced by david rothenberg , fortune premiered off - broadway at the actors playhouse on february 23 , 1967 and ran until january of 1968 , attracting other gay playwrights such as tennessee williams and noel coward to performances . the play toured to chicago and san francisco , was the first production to play the converted old stock exchange building in montreal ( the current centaur theatre ) and ran for fifteen weeks at the central library theatre in toronto . saul mineo remounted the play in los angeles in 1969 , transferring the production to new york where it ran another nine months . new productions were mounted in sweden , turkey , israel , south africa and london where charles marowitz launched his avant - garde open space company with a nine - month run of fortune in 1968 .

shakespeare wrote more than thirty plays . these are usually divided into four categories : histories , comedies , tragedies , and romances . his earliest plays were primarily comedies and histories such as henry vi and the comedy of errors , but in 1596 , shakespeare wrote romeo and juliet , his second tragedy , and over the next dozen years he would return to the form , writing the plays for which he is now best known : julius caesar , hamlet , othello , king lear , macbeth , and antony and cleopatra . in his final years , shakespeare turned to the romantic with cymbeline , a winter ' s tale , and the tempest .

by the mid - 1970s , the play had received more than 400 productions around the world and a chalmers award for best canadian play after its first revival at toronto’s phoenix theatre in 1975 .

the revelation of brutality behind bars is no longer the shocker it was in 1967 because there’s a whole generation out there who “grew up on oz , ” in dezotti’s words , referencing the cable tv sensation that blew the lid off the prison system from 1996 - 2003 .

deborah raymond and dorian vernacchio have designed an impressive prison cell , with running water and an ominously clanging door ; the theater even smells of disinfectant .

that’s how julian dezotti , who plays the part of the innocent , soon - to - be - broken newcomer smitty , encountered it .

while shakespeare was regarded as the foremost dramatist of his time , evidence indicates that both he and his contemporaries looked to poetry , not playwriting , for enduring fame . shakespeare ' s sonnets were composed between 1593 and 1601 , though not published until 1609 . that edition , the sonnets of shakespeare , consists of 154 sonnets , all written in the form of three quatrains and a couplet that is now recognized as shakespearean . the sonnets fall into two groups : sonnets 1 - 126 , addressed to a beloved friend , a handsome and noble young man , and sonnets 127 - 152 , to a malignant but fascinating " dark lady , " who the poet loves in spite of himself . nearly all of shakespeare ' s sonnets examine the inevitable decay of time , and the immortalization of beauty and love in poetry .

little is known about shakespeare ' s activities between 1585 and 1592 . robert greene ' s a groatsworth of wit alludes to him as an actor and playwright . shakespeare may have taught at school during this period , but it seems more probable that shortly after 1585 he went to london to begin his apprenticeship as an actor . due to the plague , the london theaters were often closed between june 1592 and april 1594 . during that period , shakespeare probably had some income from his patron , henry wriothesley , earl of southampton , to whom he dedicated his first two poems , venus and adonis ( 1593 ) and the rape of lucrece ( 1594 ) . the former was a long narrative poem depicting the rejection of venus by adonis , his death , and the consequent disappearance of beauty from the world . despite conservative objections to the poem ' s glorification of sensuality , it was immensely popular and was reprinted six times during the nine years following its publication .

the play ' s dramatic tension springs from the role reversals of the two macho inmates , rocky and smitty . mr . pavlovsky ' s rocky has seen too many james cagney films ; his final fall is a mere physical subjugation when it ought to be a moral defeat brought on by his cellmates ' growing understanding of him , a knowledge that pummels him harder than fists .

mr . murphy is appealing as a smitty who learns too much too quickly and too painfully . but the last scene requires more subtlety than this actor has yet . he lets us feel smitty ' s surprise at his changing feelings about the shy boy called mona , but he betrays no awareness that the violence mona suffers at the end came from smitty ' s own cowardice .

basically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley’s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . …

that’s a painful reminder of how fickle fame can be in the world of theatre , turning a once - hot property into a fading historical footnote .

although a lot of prison films allude to homosexuality very few actually take it as the main theme . jean genet ' s " un chant d ' amour " isn ' t just the best of them but arguably the most poetic gay movie ever made . you certainly couldn ' t say the same for harvey hart ' s film of john herbert ' s play . i ' ve never seen it on stage but if it was anything like this i ' m glad i didn ' t . this is an appallingly caricatured account of men ' forced ' together by circumstance with the emphasis very clearly on sex . if it were better acted it might have been tolerable but the largely unknown cast can do nothing with the mediocre material . in 1971 this might have seemed ' daring ' ; now it just seems crude and tasteless .

the young , naive smitty is sent to prison for six months ; cathy , his girlfriend , watches as he disappears behind the bars and barbed wire . he ' s assigned a cell with queenie , a balls - out drag queen , rocky , a quiet but cocky con , and mona , a young gay man who ministers to rocky . some intense shit goes down . starring wendell burton and michael greer .

that’s something the cast all agree on . working on intense material in a compact , brief rehearsal period may do wonders for momentum , but it has its down side .

only will scheffer as mona successfully imagines himself into a teen - ager brutally sophisticated by the bigotry and injustice of others . mona ' s growth - from the almost mute victim of the opening to the tortured but wise and surviving victim at the end , who recites the shakespearean sonnet from which the play derives its name to a shocked smitty - is beautifully realized .

and then it vanished , except on the reading lists of canadian theatre courses across the country .

but the festival board blocked all plans for a public reading and the script wound up in the hand of the star’s cohen , who sagely realized that , at that time , a play that scandalous could only open in toronto after getting the blessing of a new york production .

the play , which was made into a film in 1975 , dealt with the brutality of prison . it included a vivid discussion of how new prisoners were forcibly initiated into homosexuality . while still a teenager , mr . herbert had served a six - month sentence in an ontario reformatory after some men he had accused of robbing him said he had solicited sex .

while working in eaton ' s advertising office in 1944 , at the age of 18 he " passed " as a woman at an international fashion show in toronto . by this time he was " madly in love with drag " and wore women ' s clothing in public . as he writes in his unpublished autobiography , writing in the sand , he and his roommate dene " spent our money , earned at ordinary daytime jobs , on black dresses , smoky nylon stockings , sling - back suede shoes with open toes and sometimes ankle - straps , halfway - to - the - elbow gloves ( yes , gloves were de rigeur for women then ) , large - brimmed or pillbox hats , usually black but trimmed with veils or huge silk tea - roses , swing back shorty coats ( yes , in black ) , large purses and assorted costume jewelry from woolworths , usually long strands of fake pearls or rhinestone chokers , glass and brass rings and chiffon scarves . " at the age of twenty , herbert and dene were physically incarnating the fantasy life of the film stars they admired on screen . " our faces were pure ' hollywood ' and our long finger nails brilliant as flawless rubies . "

“a lot of the references and slang are now outdated , but the themes of the play — injustice , homophobia and how love survives in such a terrible place — are all still as true as ever . ”

mr . herbert ' s full name was john herbert brundage . he was born in toronto . his father , claude , once a professional athlete , lost his money in the depression . mr . herbert said he grew up in poverty in a house that was nevertheless filled with literature , from the ancient greeks to shakespeare and stevenson .

“people don’t fail the system . the system fails the people , ” says david coomber , who plays mona , the sensitive survivor of the script’s troubled quartet . “this play shows you how prison brings out the darkest parts of all of us . we’ve all turned into caged animals , working instinctively and fighting for our own skins . ”

“you put yourself in the environment of a jail cell with us . four guys confined without any choice , any freedom , any way to live our own lives , ” is how fiddes describes the situation . “you get in a place like this where there’s a lack of any real human connection and it takes its toll on you . ”

lots of good lines go to queenie , and they ' re pretty good indeed but they belong in a light comedy . high camp and sodomy somehow don ' t seem to be compatible aspects of the same subject . and just when we ' re getting used to queenie , he goes through an unbelievable character change , exposing himself at the annual christmas show . not queenie !

william shakespeare was born on april 23 , 1564 , in stratford - upon - avon . the son of john shakespeare and mary arden , he was probably educated at the king edward vi grammar school in stratford , where he learned latin and a little greek and read the roman dramatists . at eighteen , he married anne hathaway , a woman seven or eight years his senior . together they raised two daughters : susanna , who was born in 1583 , and judith ( whose twin brother died in boyhood ) , born in 1585 .

those advantages are not always realized in this version , which at times seems nostalgic for the old shock . one wonders , for instance , whether the rape at the end of the first scene would not be more menacing if it were played less explicitly and whether the atmosphere in the reformatory would not be more sinister if the actors were more physically restrained than they are here . the author ' s compassionate understanding of these characters and his sense of hurt ( the story is at least partly autobiographical ) are sometimes lost .

based on the controversial late 60s off - broadway play ( that featured sal mineo [ in one of his last acting roles ] and [ a pre - stardom ] don johnson ) , the play ' s writer john herbert also wrote the script for the more mainstream ( but still edgy ) canadian film version , which has young , naive pothead smith / smitty ( wendell burton [ go ask alice , heat { 1986 } ] ) going to prison . once there , he shares a jail cell with the likes of crossdressing gay queenie ( [ the mtv real world ' s puck { david rainey } looking michael greer [ the gay deceivers , the rose ] ) , his pal jenn / mona lisa ( david freedman ) , and the cunning rocky ( zooey hall [ i dismeber mama ] ) , with smitty quickly learning that the prison is chock full of cold hearted , murderous guards and fellow male rape intended inmates , who nab jenn ( in place of smitty [ after rocky quickly rescues him ] ) , drag him to an open cellroom , and explicit rape him in an…

i ' m not entirely sure what to think of this movie . it ' s all at once tone - deaf and shockingly bold . i did some googling about it after watching and realized it was actually based on quite an important play . having not seen the play , i can ' t help but think something crucial is missing in translation here . . . any message about gay rights went over my head , unless they ' re just referring to the last 10 minutes ? as it is , this felt more like an exploitation movie than it did any sort of social commentary .

while william shakespeare’s reputation is based primarily on his plays , he became famous first as a poet . with the partial exception of the sonnets ( 1609 ) , quarried since the early 19th century for autobiographical secrets allegedly encoded in them , the nondramatic writings have traditionally been pushed . . .

mr . herbert said he wanted to think it over , and the next morning learned that his attackers had filed charges against him , leading to his conviction .

sometime after 1612 , shakespeare retired from the stage and returned to his home in stratford . he drew up his will in january of 1616 , which included his famous bequest to his wife of his " second best bed . " he died on april 23 , 1616 , and was buried two days later at stratford church .

" lifts the carpet and shows what is underneath . " writing during the patriotism and national euphoria of centennial year 1967 , cohen declared that the play presented " a truly critical challenge . " " it asks deeply disturbing questions about long - established personal and social assumptions . it does not enrich our vision . it undermines it . " three years later cohen added , " what was really shocking was that the author obviously was writing from his own experience . " covering the mgm film adaptation of

“i’d read the play in high school and been moved by it , ” he recalls , “but then i forgot about it until stefan asked me to take a part in this production .

for starters , we can ' t believe the changes wendell burton has to go through in the character of smitty . he starts out as the meek little boy - man we remember from " the sterile cuckoo , " but by the end of the movie he has actually beaten up rocky and gone through a complete character reversal . now he ' s the tough barn boss , trying to brutalize the quiet little jewish intellectual who used to be his friend ( and who , instead of a liberal speech , recites the title sonnet from shakespeare ) . burton doesn ' t convince us of this character change , but maybe nobody could . the characters are manipulated with all the cold efficiency of an especially badly made well - made play .

its portrait of prison life , with homosexual rape , abusive authority and a constant struggle to survive as everyday occurrences , made it a ticking time bomb onstage , especially in those pre - stonewall days .

“herbert has found a way for all of us to keep some sort of internal dignity , ” concludes coomber , “and part of that is due to the fact that the play is still saying very important things .

after his release he did a series of odd jobs across the continent before settling in toronto in 1955 . he studied at the new play society ( 1956 - 9 ) before founding and operating three separate alternative houses in toronto .

the kid , who is straight , gets a six - month sentence and winds up in the same cell with rocky , and also with queenie , who is a drag queen among other things . rocky explains the system : unless the kid places himself under the protection of a regular old man ( rocky , say ) who has a place in the power structure , he ' ll be the victim of gang rape by everybody else in the cell block .

he said the judge continued : ' ' tell me , people have written plays about prisons , and people have written plays about ho - mo - sex - yew - ality . why would you have to put them together ? ' '

mr . herbert took to the road and went west , then to montreal , where he became interested in plays . he returned to his hometown , where one of his sisters , nana brundage , was involved in the theater . in 1960 they founded the garret theater .

edward ormond , the director , who also takes the role of queenie , has more stage experience than anyone else in this cast and occasionally his outrageous drag queen threatens to sweep the other characters off the stage . in fact , his unmoderated flamboyance deprives queenie of our sympathy at the end , when the collapse of all his manipulative schemes ought to be poignant . part of the problem is that mr . ormond , like jon pavlovsky as rocky and drew murphy as smitty , acts like someone who is closer to 30 years old than 20 . these people are supposed to be youths whose surface sophistication has been forced on them .

it is a known fact that telugu heroes do not share a similar camaraderie as their bollywood counterparts . there , it is common for shah rukh and salman to appear together , for srk to do an item song in akshay ' s film and for big b to introduce hrithik ' s ' jodha akbar ' .

now , slowly , the winds of change and marketing tactics are affecting the filmmaking gamut of telugu industry too .

while we have had heroes like srikant and jagapati babu doing special roles in films of top heroes , not many top heroes come together on screen .

though mahesh was not returning any favours for pawan , it was trivikram srinivas who managed to cajole him to do it .

it is the much awaited audio release for his fans . three of the film ' s songs were released on the net nearly a week before the audio launch . but that did not whet the audience ' s excitement . instead , it made them more desperate to listen to the entire album consisting nine songs . geeta arts specially chose devisri prasad to come up with some really sensational music and as always , devisri does not disappoint . he has what pawan kalyan ' s fans would love to hear in his film . read on .

he is the jackie chan . he is the king of andhra . sings baba sehgal in this opening track of the album . baba had sung a song for megastar chiranjeevi 12 years back for rickshaavaadu . then , he crooned roop tera mastana for his item number . this time around , it is a rap mix about the leading man . apparently , the rap bits were written by baba himself and so they fit in perfectly with the song . it is an ideal number to get a feel of what can be expected from the album . fast and peppy , it is surely going to top the charts for a very , very long time .

this is another experimental number that is highly westernised . like quite a few songs in pawan kalyan ' s films , it is sprinkled with english and telugu lyrics . kay kay gives the playback and he is simply superb as his telugu diction is perfect , not to forget his english pronunciation . a romantic number , it stands out by not being melodious . devisri prasad comes up with something that will get the younger audience grooving .

this one has hindi and english lyrics for a change . devisri prasad sings let ' s do balle balle for another item number which will be ideal for saturday night dancing at clubs . the lyrics are thought - provoking , but devisri gives them a wonderful twist by setting them to funky beats . hakuna matata ( don ' t worry , be happy ) ! !

devisri uses ranjith for this number . a solo number , this one ' s a super fast song despite the lyrics .

a perfect item song , this one has benny and priya giving the playback . the lyricists move past ramyakrishna and rambha and go international with this one . so we have the girl being compared to jennifer lopez , beyonce and shakira in keeping with the times . another song that will take you to the dance floor within seconds , it is bound to bounce to the top of the charts within no time .

tippu , who is fast becoming the hot choice for fast songs , sings this one along with gopika poornima . this is another number that is bound to go really with both the urban and rustic masses . just don ' t forget to put on your dancing shoes on before listening to this one !

bear in mind that one must live life like he is at a feast . – epictetus the parallels between good food and a good life have been plenty in history . a meal was considered to be an important activity that commanded respect and utmost dedication to detail . it was often said that wars were averted not by the kings , but by the chefs who served a sumptuous meal to warring visitors . however , through time , the importance and benefits of a good meal have diminished .

right from the starts to main course to desert , everything right on target . one special thing about the buffet is that everything is served on the table so you need worry about moving around , just focus on food ; ) lot of variety , with no compromise in taste ! ps : they serve karela manchurian in the starter and to my surprise was tasty !

very happy with the overall quality of food and service . chandan was very sweet and courteous . . the ambiance and service really gives a royal feel . . . thank u so much !

awesome place with the best food you ever taste . starter were loaded and i should say all the dishes were marvellous . cost : value for money service : 8 / 10 food : 9 / 10 ambience : 10 / 10

went here for a team lunch and was absolutely in love with this place ! their all gold interior is so interesting and adds a royal feel to it . best part about the buffet was that , they served everything on the table . i didn ' t have to get up for everything . the starters were not the usual barbecue starters . they were different . loved the prawns and fish chilly starters ! the variety and taste of good is good . desserts are amazing ! loved the malpua with rabri . great service and total paisa vasool !

hardly any beach ( 40 yards wide ) when the tide is in and small beach when out , however sun beds are positioned very close to shoreline on the grass and water is very shallow 1 to 3 feet for about 50 to seventy yards out . some fish on some days close in but more out on the reef but you need to go on the glass bottomed boat to get there for a small fee approx 7 euros .

it’s very small & narrow , we were there in feb maybe 6 beds on it . . . . we used the ones on the manmade ridge above looking out to sea which were nice . . . . it’s a bay so it’s very shallow which meant no marine life to enjoy . . .

first thing i want to say about editorial review . . . rating 7 . 0 is not apt for this movie . the story line is not good and too much violence in some scenes . coming to movie pawan did well and also illeana and other supporting characters . but the minus in this movie is naxal backgorund . the flash back starts seriously ( unnecessarily also , even if you edit the flash back it wont affect the story ) and ends funnily ( meaning less end of the flash back ) . songs picturisation also not good . there are only few trivikram trademark dialogues in the movie . it is just a okay type movie but when compared to pawan previous flops it is an above average movie . i don ' t know why pawan changed his style after khushi . up to the khushi all his movies are worth watching and i became die hard fan to him at that time . at that most of his movies are different to the other heroes regular type movies . but after jhonny he also started to do same routine things like other big heroes . this movie is good for time pass and dont compare with khushi . njoy . . . . . . . . . .

a small good turn by fate can offset a disproportionately large amount of baggage from the past . for pavan kalyan , fate happens in the form of contemporary telugu cinema ' s best writer trivikram srinivas . and the good turn is not small either - this is likely to be an impressive hit .
