Removal of "needs-infobox" tag

This article has had its infobox tag removed by a cleanup using AWB. Any concerns please leave me a message at my talk page. RWardy 19:27, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Strange format redirections?

I seem to remember the film and play previously having their own articles. Why would the film article redirect to the play article, but still be name "(play)" and be written as though it is just about the play? A similar thing seems to have happened with The Dreamers article, with the book directing to the movie article, without the article including the information about the book or changing the page title to reflect this. Very odd! --Jackdavinci (talk) 01:15, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

vandalism

There was some heavy editing in the article : someone removed all the homosexuality references to the point that it was quite disturbing. I corrected most of them but some may remain. Fishhook (talk) 12:51, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

"Bent" as slang

Why on earth is a citation needed? It's basic English slang, ask any person with an awareness of English demotic culture. Would you ask for a citation for the cognate use of "gay"? - of course not. 121.99.84.227 (talk) 04:38, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Concur. It's been standard slang for at least four generations in the UK, quite possibly for significantly longer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.101.231 (talk) 20:28, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Why the laborious list of so many performances?

This is quite out of keeping with the usual approach to plays. God help Wikipedia if consistency applies the same approach elsewhere. Shakespeare?

It reads almost as if someone felt a need to raise the profile of plays with a gay theme. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.101.231 (talk) 20:31, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

I agree with the general point, which is that this list under "Subsequent production history" is way too long. I've just corrected the list's grammar and formatting, but it really needs significant cutting down. The average play does not need a list of every single production, including those by amateur companies and student A-Level productions! --TrottieTrue (talk) 03:33, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Die Männer mit dem rosa Winkel

Is there a reason that nowhere in this article it is mentioned that Bent is based on Neumann's biography of Josef Korhout (Die Männer mit dem rosa Winkel)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ProfTulp (talk • contribs) 14:27, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
