Play review - "Playing Rock Hudson" (performance 1 Dec 2013)

Not entirely successful look at the life - in particular love life - of the famous Hollywood movie star. It's sort of about "who was the real Rock Hudson" but mostly a recreation of the legal battle one of his last lovers had against Hudson's estate - he claimed that Rock Hudson never told him he had AIDS and should have. More focus and less actors reciting research may have made the piece more satisfactory, although there is interest in seeing actors depict Hudson and his various lovers, George Nader, Henry Wilson, Elizabeth Taylor, etc.
