Gently Down the Stream, the new play by Tony-nominated playwright and screenwriter Martin Sherman, begins performances at the Public Theater March 15.
Starring Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein, the play tells the story of Beau, a pianist expat living in London at the dawn of the internet dating revolution who meets Rufus (Ebert), an eccentric young lawyer. Hailing from two very different generations of gay men, their subsequent love story is billed by the theatre as 鈥渞emarkably moving鈥� and 鈥渂rilliantly funny.鈥�

The play by Emil Weinstein is based on the memoir by Abby Chava Stein, an openly transgender woman directly descended from Hasidic Judaism's founder, the Baal Shem Tov.
The piece stars Obie Award winner Jodie Markell as propagandist filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl, whose work in service of the Nazis defined the visual identity of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich.
