Sunsets: Two Acts On A Beach at Open Space Arts

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...Both acts feature age-related casting choices that seem at odds with the stories Yeomans is telling, but not so dramatic of discrepancies that they feel like a choice. It’s also hard not to get some peep show vibes from the latter half, as the experience does amount to—flowery prose and soft Muzak notwithstanding—a dozen or so folks in folding chairs watching young men simulate sex in a basement. But there is some definite value to experiencing queer work last performed in the early 80s and seeing how gay art, as well as the communities they reflect, have and haven’t changed."

"...Last presented in Chicago in 1982, Sunset opens with The Line Forms to the Rear, a talkative reflection on the mid-life adventures of Henry, a former drag artist now living in his mother's southern home. Combatting the emotional repercussions of a failed romance, Henry spends his days wandering around the neighborhood K-Mart. But an unexpected accident in the store's garden section sends him down a more explicitly beneficial course."

Chicago Stage and Screen - Recommended

"...The overt eroticism of the subject matter must have been ground breaking years ago even as it is not so surprising today. The evening, as handled by director David Zak who perhaps more than anyone else in Chicago created institutional supports for gay theatre, is a gentle throwback and a wistful reminiscence as much as a historical artifact that lives and breathes. In these times of homophobia it is must see viewing for those seeking context for how far we have come and how far we need to go. "

"...It’s very difficult to describe this brief but compelling production without spoilers – I’m starting them already! – so you’re just going to have to trust me: see SUNSET: TWO ACTS ON A BEACH. Really. See it. You will so not be sorry."
