A Breeze from the Gulf
(Signed by Ruth Ford and Robert Drivas)
With A Breeze from the Gulf in 1973, Crowley was moving in more productive directions. This highly autobiographical play about an only child between ages seventeen and twenty-five and his parents–the smothering mother addicted to drugs, the indulgent father to alcohol–offers moments of tremendous psychological insight, although much of the time it talks and psychoanalyzes itself to death. The play suggests a considerable talent not totally in control of its medium. Nevertheless, with The Boys in the Band, Crowley had cut through the thicket that blocked the way to frank dramatic presentations of the homosexual lifestyle, and for this pioneering effort he is best remembered.
