the long version

Mart Crowley was born in Vicksburg, Miss., and educated at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. This collection brings together three of his most powerful works: the classic The Boys in the Band (1968); A Breeze From the Gulf (1973), which deals with the early life of one of the characters in The Boys in the Band; and the previously unpublished For Reasons That Remain Unclear (1993). Additionally, Crowley wrote the plays Remote Asylum (Ahmanson Theatre, Los Angeles, 1970) and Avec Schmaltz (Williamstown [Mass.] Theatre Festival, 1984), adapted and produced the film version of The Boys in the Band, wrote the television movie adaptation of James Kirkwood's There Must Be a Pony, and produced the TV series Hart to Hart.
