Robert Patrick, Early, and Prolific, Playwright of Gay Life, Dies at 85
Robert Patrick, a wildly prolific playwright who rendered gay (and straight) life with caustic wit, an open heart and fizzy camp, and whose 1964 play, “The Haunted Host,” became a touchstone of early gay theater, died on April 23 at his home in Los Angeles. He was 85. The cause was atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, said Jason Jenn, a friend.
