Sites for Lauren & Mark Arnest and Murray Ross of Theatreworks, creators of "All About Love."
Plato's Symposium The text, translated by Jowett.
However, even though it's not available online, I recommend Robin Waterfield's translation of the Symposium, part of the "World's Classics" series published by Oxford University Press. It's livelier and the annotations come in handy.
Plutarch's Life of Alcibiades, one of the major characters in the Symposium. Translation by John Dryden.
Plato's "Phaedrus" (another e-text, another discourse on love, and another character who appears in the "Symposium.")
If Plato seems a little unsympathetic to Aristophanes, it's because Plato never forgave him for the hatchet job Aristophanes did on Socrates in his play, The Clouds.
Here's Xenophon's "Symposium." A description by a minor Socratic philosopher of another drinking party that includes Socrates, it probably won't give any additional insight into "All About Love," but at the very least it illustrates what a great resource the web is for Greek literature.
Though classical Athenian culture wasn't gay in the modern sense, it had a strong homoerotic side. The history page at Fordham University's People With a History site links to many studies and sites related to homoerotic and homosexual culture, as well as classical Greek culture in general.
The Musicals Homepage .Probably the web's best gateway into musical theater.
Here's the site for "Medea, the Musical" another contemporary play based on an ancient Greek source. Despite its title, it's not a musical.
