Description
In the single setting of a prison cell and its outside corridor, four young men, prisoners, and a middle-aged guard live out the Christmas season in an atmosphere of anger, violence and desire. Two characters, Queenie and Mona, are openly homosexual and the other two prisoners, Rocky and Smitty, fight to preserve their masculinity within a system that encourages homosexuality by its very nature. The guard, called Holy-Face by the prisoners, detests all convicts and is a racist and sexist bigot who exploits prisoners for money. Before the play is over, we see the first-time offender, Smitty, changed forever by a corrupting experience.
