Real life pulled from minimal elements

I bought this book at the theatre after recently seeing a production of Talk Radio with Liev Schreiber. I really enjoyed the play and also the monologues. With virtually no props and simple dialogue (the way people really talk), Mr. Bogosian creates realistic slices of life. I was reminded of the plays of David Mamet, another favorite, especially Glen Garry GlenRoss, which I also saw two years ago starring Mr. Schreiber. You see the average person trying to cope with world class problems and seemingly getting no help from God, the government, the past, and passers-by. Both playwrights with few words can draw out the audience's deepest feelings. I love this kind of work.
