The gays are fighting in the first trailer for Netflix’s upcoming production of The Boys in the Band. Directed by Joe Mantello and produced by Ryan Murphy, David Stone and Ned Martel, the film is based on the 1968 off-Broadway production of the same name from the late Mart Crowley, who sadly passed away from a heart attack in March.
When first released, the show – which focuses on the personal dramas of several gay men at a house party – made waves in LGBTQ+ and mainstream culture for its authentic depiction of the gay community.
It was later adapted into a highly-acclaimed drama film in 1970, making history in the process as the first major American motion picture to revolve around gay characters.
