Wrecks

And Other Plays

Neil LaBute,

About this book

"Superb and subversive," this award-winning one-man play is "a masterly attempt to shed light on the ways in which we manufacture our own darkness" (John Lahr, The New Yorker ).

Can someone honestly love a person whom they have deceived for thirty years? This is the central question behind Wrecks, Neil LaBute's dramatic foray into the dark side of human nature.

Meet Edward Carr: loving father, successful businessman, grieving widower. In this concise powerhouse of a play, LaBute limns the boundaries of love, exploring the limits of what society will accept versus what the heart will desire. This collection also features rarely staged short plays, including "Liars' Club," "Coax," and the never-before-seen "Falling in Like."

"LaBute's . . . cruel wit and chronicles of immoral moralizers have made him, arguably, the most legitimately provocative and polarizing playwright at work today." ?David Amsden, New York Magazine
"A tough-minded writer." ?Michael Kuchwara, The Washington Post
"A playwright [with] an unparalleled ear for dialogue." ?Jacque Le Sourd, The Journal News
