Love Alone: Elegies for Rog

​A true story of love persevering in the face of calamity.

In 1986, poet Paul Monette lost Roger Horwitz, his partner of 12 years, to AIDS. In the five months that followed, Monette wrote an exquisite cycle of poems that traces an epic journey from grief back to the land of living, full of rage, humor, and a love that transcends death.
​
Actor Jonah Scott Mendelsohn brings these poems to the stage in a solo show that gives voice to a lost generation of gay men, teaching the courage with which they faced the epidemic and injustice of their time, as we continue to face them in our own.
