Martin Sherman's memoir ON THE BOARDWALK, is a must-read for a multitude of reasons: it's moving, funny and because Martin–who wrote the seminal play BENT–was and still is a game-changer. His life story must be spread far and wide.

Poignant words from Martin Sherman at the launch of his #memoir ON THE BOARDWALK. He describes both the 'shadow' the devastating #Huntingtonsdisease had cast over his whole life, followed by the 'hope' the very recent news of successful #genetherapy treatment had given him.
