About “Torch song trilogy”

Torch Song Trilogy is a collection of three plays by Harvey Fierstein, presented in three acts: International Stud, Fugue in a Nursery, and Widows and Children First!. The story follows Arnold Beckoff, a Jewish homosexual, drag queen, and torch singer living in New York City during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The four-hour play opens with a soliloquy in which Arnold expresses his cynical view of love. The work explores themes of identity, relationships, and personal struggle through his experiences. The play was written by Harvey Fierstein. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
