Miguel Piñero's Short Eyes returns to off Broadway

Variety reports that bisexual playwright Miguel Piñero's Short Eyes will be revived off-Broadway in the fall, 30 years after its world premiere. Anone Pagan and Scott Morfee will produce the revival of the intense prison drama--which features pre-Oz portrayals of sexuality and brutality behind bars--based on Piñero's own experiences as a convict in Sing Sing prison in New York State. Benjamin Bratt portrayed Piñero in a 2001 biopic.
