Description: Mart Crowley was born in Vicksburg, Miss., and educated at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. This collection brings together three of his most powerful works: the classic The Boys in the Band (1968); A Breeze From the Gulf (1973), which deals with the early life of one of the characters in The Boys in the Band; and the previously unpublished For Reasons That Remain Unclear (1993).

Additionally, Crowley wrote the plays Remote Asylum (Ahmanson Theatre, Los Angeles, 1970) and Avec Schmaltz (Williamstown [Mass.] Theatre Festival, 1984), adapted and produced the film version of The Boys in the Band, wrote the television movie adaptation of James Kirkwood's There Must Be a Pony, and produced the TV series Hart to Hart.
