Forty-deuce : a play This dark play was first performed Off Off-Broadway in 1981 and gave Kevin Bacon (seen here on the cover) an early, award-winning role. The play’s title is a riff on both the tennis score and a junction at New York's 42nd Street known as ‘the Deuce’, where sex shops, porn cinemas and peep shows were clustered. The play, by Alan Bowne (1945-1989), depicts the death and exploitation of a young boy alongside a critique of commodity culture and was published by Felice Picano’s Sea Horse Press. Sea Horse Press was one of the Gay Presses of New York collective, which worked to increase the visibility of gay books.
