  Alfred Kinsey:  A Love Story
Drama with humor.

Two men, one woman. Single unit set.

ALFRED KINSEY:  A LOVE STORY a highly theatrical and fictionalized biography providing a subjective and multi-faceted appraisal of Alfred Kinsey’s life and work.  The play explores the raw, hot emotions that often hide beneath the seemingly cold search for scientific knowledge.

ALFRED KINSEY:  A LOVE STORY was presented in an AEA-approved workshop/showcase at the Michael Weller Theatre in NYC for 16 performances, directed by Craig J. George.  World premier rights to the play are still available.

Reviews

Folie's insight is that Kinsey made the lab into a roomy sort of closet - where everything was allowed except avowed attachment, least of all to another man…  The ascendant reality of gay marriage, though, would have been a bittersweet triumph for this conflicted liberator who, like Moses, could glimpse but not enter the promised land.
Newsday

Folie's portrait [of Kinsey] is compassionate, demonstrating the contradictions of a dedicated scientist who cannot control his own sexual urges. Told in a succession of sophisticated time shifts, this battle of the objective versus the subjective is at the heart of the play.
Backstage

Folie deftly shows the dichotomy between passion and reason … exposing the conflict [Kinsey] tries to bury under the veneer of science…  In Folie's telling, it is love that takes Kinsey by surprise, and which, like most of us, he can't understand.
Gay City News (New York City]

An effective blending of passion and investigation… Alfred Kinsey:  A Love Story is a study in contradictions.  An excellent portrayal of a man ahead of his time who couldn’t keep up with his own findings.
