“Genuinely funny, with moments that feel both clever and thoroughly entertaining.”
America is turning 250. Let’s talk about who drilled the men.
It’s 1778. Washington’s army is falling apart. Enter Baron von Steuben: a Prussian immigrant with the expertise to save the Revolution, the ego to demand credit, and enough gayness to found Provincetown himself.
The Drillmaster is the mostly true comedy about America’s gayest founding daddy. He wants a promotion, a little respect, and a farm where he can settle down with his not one, but two lovers. First, he has to teach an army to march and convince a country built by outsiders that he belongs.
Meanwhile, Alexander Hamilton and John Laurens are making “just friends” increasingly difficult to defend. The love letters are real. How you interpret them depends on how horny the historian is.
Military ambition. Romantic incompetence. A founding daddy who deserves his due.
