The story of
eight male friends who spend the three major holiday weekends of one summer -
Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and Labor Day - together at a house in upstate
New York. The house belongs to Gregory, a successful choreographer now
approaching middle age, who fears he is losing his creativity; and his
twenty-something lover, Bobby, who happens to be blind. Each of the guests at
their house is connected to Gregory's work in one way or another - Arthur and
longtime partner Perry are business consultants; John Jeckyll, a sour
Englishman, is a dance accompanist; die-hard musical theater fanatic Buzz Hauser
is a costume designer and the most stereotypically gay man in the group. Only
John's summer lover, Ramon, and John's twin brother James are outside the circle
of friends. But Ramon is outgoing (to say the least) and eventually makes a
place for himself in the group, and James is such a gentle soul that he is
quickly welcomed. Infidelity, flirtations, soul-searching, AIDS, truth-telling
and skinny-dipping mix monumental questions about life and death with a wacky
dress rehearsal for Swan
