Wrecks

&quote;Superb and subversive,&quote; this award-winning one-man play is &quote;a masterly attempt to shed light on the ways in which we manufacture our own darkness&quote; (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 &quote;Liars' Club,&quote; &quote;Coax,&quote; and the never-before-seen &quote;Falling in Like.&quote;&quote;LaBute's . . . cruel wit and chronicles of immoral moralizers have made him, arguably, the most legitimately provocative and polarizing playwright at work today.&quote; -David Amsden, New York Magazine&quote;A tough-minded writer.&quote; -Michael Kuchwara, The Washington Post &quote;A playwright [with] an unparalleled ear for dialogue.&quote; -Jacque Le Sourd, The Journal News
