SAVAGE GRACE (Currency Press)
Two very different men. Drawn together by sexual passion, driven apart by professional ethics. During his residency at an Australian hospital, Dr. Tex Cladakis, an American HIV specialist, meets bioethics professor Robert Bavaro. They clash over ethical issues, but despite this -- or perhaps because of it -- a passionate sexual affair develops between them. As Cladakis considers assisting the suicide of one of his terminally ill patients, the moral ground shifts and the stakes escalate, threatening both their careers. An intensely observed play of ideas for anyone who has ever completely disagreed with someone they passionately love.
Winner of the Rodney Seaborne Playwrights' Award.
