STANDS THE TEST OF TIME
It has been fifteen years since "Jeffrey" was released. I just added it to my collection and found that it stands the test of time. Witty, smart, and entertaining and still a refreshing look at the conundrum that faces so many today of sex and romance in the age of AIDS.The performances are all winning. With standouts by Patrick Stewart as a bitchy cutting designing older queen and Brian Batt (Mad Men's resident closeted gay) as his "Cats" loving lover. There are wonderful cameos by Sigourney Weaver, Kathy Najimy, Olympia Dukakis, Victor Garber, Camryn Manheim, just to name a few.The real heart of the story is where to look for the finest performances. Steven Weber as Jeffery and Michael T. Weis as Steve the man who challenges Jeffery's decision on how to get by in without love are so fresh and believable. They are a joy to watch and lovely to look at as well."Jeffery" delivers plenty of laughs and some tears along the way. A wonderful play that translates well to the screen.
