Reviews

Frank Rich, New York Times, January 1983
".....its magnetic young star, Peter Gallagher, is at full tilt.....The production will likely be remembered for the charismatic Mr. Gallagher. Extravagant but not campy in gesture and speech, this young American actor is woundingly funny as he throws himself around a room (and almost out a window) in ecstatic celebration of his romantic passions.When Guy finally decides that his sexuality is "a life sentence", his deep, understated hurt make the mawkish moving. "Another Country" may be a familiar landscape of both hills and valleys, but Mr. Gallagher is a cyclone stirring up heat and dust everywhere he lands....."

Douglas Watt, New York Daily News, January 1983
".....Peter Gallagher is astonishingly fine as Bennett. His lyrical outbursts of love for a fellow student he and his group are forbidden to join with are no more offensive than his rude gestures or jokes about his condition. There is nothing in the least epicene about Gallagher's performance. He amazingly gives us a buoyant characterization of a high-spirited youth who simply happens to be bent the wrong way and, through a foolishly contrived episode, is doomed to be forever an outcast....."
