Rani Bush:
Avoidance Tactics is a collection of three recent plays by Sky Gilbert, writer, director, actor, filmmaker, and drag queen. “Schubert Lied” and “Independence” are unauthorized biographies of famous queers. “Schubert Lied” tells the long-suppressed story of Schubert's gay romances and his battle with syphilis. “Independence” drops American playwright William Inge into the center of his own plays Bus Stop and Picnic. Only this time, Inge's plays are gay. “The Birth of Casper G. Schmidt” is a hysterical AIDS-dissident comedy. Howard, an old-fashioned, effeminate, obsessive-compulsive, flaming fag, lives upstairs. John is bisexual. When Mandy gets pregnant, there are complications.
