Loverman explodes cultural myths and shows the extent of what can happen when people fear the consequences of being true to themselves. When their marriage goes into meltdown, Barrington wants to divorce Carmel and live with Morris, but after a lifetime of fear and deception, will he manage to break away? With an abundance of laugh-out-loud humor and wit, Mr. His deeply religious and disappointed wife, Carmel, thinks he sleeps with other women. A flamboyant, wisecracking character with a dapper taste in retro suits, and a fondness for Shakespeare, Barrington is a husband, father, grandfather-and also secretly gay lovers with his childhood friend, Morris.
