Described in the 70’s a ‘’Chorus Line for gay people’’, Crimes Against Nature remains vital today as a communal disclosure of roles gay people adopt in order to survive in a world that devalues homosexual feelings. It features individual actors delivering revealing monologues, during which the other members of the collective play background roles (parents, schoolmates, etc.). One by one, the actors detail the ways in which they have buried their true selves in order to survive and be accepted in the world: repression, drug use, shyness, being agreeable, putting experiences into ‘’little boxes’’, acting ‘’butch’’ and so on.

El teatro es algo maravilloso, pero detrás hay mucho esfuerzo y muchas cosas que se le escapan al gran público, que sólo asiste a las representaciones sin saber lo que se esconde detrás del telón. Como en la vida misma, en las bambalinas hay muchos problemas, ya que no hay que olvidar que el teatro es algo hecho por personas, y que éstas son imperfectas y tienen sus historias personales, las cuales afectan a la forma en la que trabajan. Esto es lo que pasa en la película, ya que para empezar, la directora es una neurótica, lo que no le ayuda nada a la hora de dirigir a sus actores, y más si la protagonista se enfada con ella mientras que uno de los actores es tan mayor que es incapaz de memorizar sus frases. Pero lo peor es que los desastres no acaban aquí, y el equipo técnico es igual o peor que la directora y los actores. ¿Podrán hacer la obra y presentarla al público?
