Abstract

The article focuses on American playwright Emily Mann's documentary play "Execution of Justice," which explores the trial of American politician Dan White for the murders of former Mayor of San Francisco George Moscone and former member of the San Francisco Harvey Milk, shedding light on the challenges of categorizing it within established genres like gay theater. It reports that Mann's dramatic strategy in using documentary form raises questions about the play's stance on homophobia.
