(The Duke on 42nd Street, 229 West 42nd Street, New York, NY, 10036)(See website for schedule) Like last season’s The Motherfucker with the Hat, Mike Bartlett’s searching comedy drama about erotic identity ought to have writers scrambling for politic euphemisms. The play concerns John, who breaks up with his boyfriend only to fall into bed with a woman, prompting a sexual tug-of-war and a very awkward dinner party. — By Alexis Soloski
