A Prelude to a Kiss and Other Plays
About this book
This collection brings back into print one of Craig Lucas’ best known and enduring works, A Prelude to a Kiss, which was both a hit on Broadway and a popular motion picture. Frank Rich in The New York Times wrote about Prelude, "It is rare to find a play so suffused with sorrow that sends one home so high." Also included are Missing Persons, "a truly intelligent play, one that is literary and heartfelt, beautifully written…a well-crafted, moving story, a dramatic rarity in these or any times "(New York Post), and Three Postcards, an offbeat and uniquely imaginative free form musical play.
Craig Lucas is also the author of Reckless and Blue Window and What I Mean Was. He lives in Putnam Valley, New York.
