Actors Dancy, Whishaw Praised Playing Gay Lovers in NY
British actors Hugh Dancy and Ben Whishaw have won praise for their turns playing troubled gay lovers in a New York production of a play that jumps back and forth from repressed 1950s London to 2008.
The pair portray two couples in the different eras who anguish over emotional isolation and gay identity in “The Pride,” which opened off-Broadway in New York on Tuesday night after the drama received an acclaimed debut in London in 2008 with different actors, ABC News reports.
