Reviews for Steambath

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Madcap play from 1971. People find themselves in a steambath. Are they dead? is it a waiting room for Hell? Is the Puerto Rican Attendant really God? There are gay men and a lot of randy talk about sex. Apparently when it aired on TV it changed (or challenged?) the standards for what one could say on TV at the time. I laughed out loud when one character claimed for his generation that they had produced Norman Podhoretz.
