London Theatre Plays 
| Bent | Bent Closed from London Ticket Web | Bent - Martin Sherman's play is set in Nazi Germany in 1934 and explores the persecution of gay men under Hitler's regime. It is the first play to broach this subject; drawing attention to the horrific, yet sparsely documented, number of gay men massacred through the Nazi reign. Witnessing prisoners Max and Horst come to grips with their humanity, their identities and their destinies, is both heroic and profoundly moving.

| | What's New | Bent Closed is the first modern American play to proudly and passionately speak in affirmation of homosexual love and desire. |
| Theatre Review | Bent - Two years after being carved from the old Whitehall Theatre, the Trafalgar Studios has its first blockbuster hit…. At times the most homosexually explicit and violent show in town… it also happens to be a brilliant play about persecution under the Nazis Alan Cumming (gives) a breathtaking and doubtless soon-to-be award-winning performance…. Bent is about the importance and overriding power of friendship, even in the most unthinkable circumstances. In a production of intense power by director Daniel Kramer, it is also brilliantly played.
Daily Express
Bent is a forthright, dignified play about the persecution of homosexuals in Hitler’s Germany. When it premiered in 1979, it must have had shocking novelty value. Today, its bold depiction of gay love may not be quite so surprising. This production has flair. The acting is intense yet often good-humoured. There are ingenious touches
