The contents in this play are better thought of in terms of dialogue and character than a clear plot-line. Through McNally's charming and excitable characters, we see the main, eponymous themes of love, valor and compassion shine through.
In the play, we see various relationships, including Gregory and his live-in boyfriend Bobby, as well as the more steadfast relationship between Perry and Arthur, and the passionate relationship between Buzz and James. These relationships undergo a number of struggles, from the difficulties of an age-gap to James' struggle with AIDS. As such, this play presents a realistic view of romantic relationships, with all its ups and downs.
Gregory can be considered the protagonist of this play, and much of the text is concerned with his issues with identity and creativity. Although he has been a successful choreographer, Gregory is struggling to find his purpose and to find an outlet for his creativity. Perhaps this is something he hopes to achieve with his relationship with Bobby, which doesn't work out according to plan.
