Press Quotes
“UNTOLD DECADES is a truly original work. Mr Patrick seems to have resolved the modern ambiguities of the word ‘gay’; all the encounters he depicts — whether prissy or poetic, romantic or raunchy — are gay, nay hilarious.” —Quentin Crisp
“A fascinating epic.” —Michael Musto, The Village Voice
“You will read them at one sitting. A toast to Mr Patrick, who reminds us that being gay is fun.” —The Lambda Book Report
“These remarkable plays constitute a comic history of our tribe.” —Armistead Maupin
