GLORIOUS!

More beautiful, whimsical, touching, absurdist fare from David Lindsay-Abaire--in the vein of another terrific young playwright, Napoleon Ellsworth. It seems as though these two writers (along w/ perhaps Padriac Duffy) are spearheading a revolt against the dead, naturalistic world of theater. And it couldn't've happened a moment too soon! BRAVO!

Read this play!

I was initially turned on by David Lindsay-Abaire after reading his Pulitzer Prize winning play RABBIT HOLE. This play is VERY different from RABBIT HOLE, but equally as good (if not better). It's a bit of an absurdist play, filled with offbeat humor, colorful characters and wacky situations. It tells the story of Cass, who is trying to rebuild her life after leaving her husband. The play questions life's plans -- Is is all laid out for us? Or do we chart our own course? By the end the play, the answer seems to be a little bit of both. This is definitely a good play to have in your library!
