Lovely Head x{0026} other Plays

Resumen del libro

"Lovely Head and Other Plays" brings together Neil LaBute's most masterful and affecting recent shorter works. The title play, which had its American premiere at La MaMa in 2012, rivetingly explores the relationship between a nervous older man and a glib young prostitute, as their evening together drives toward a startling conclusion. Also included is the one-act play "The Great War," which looks at a divorcing couple and the ground they need to cross to reach their own end of hostilities; "In the Beginning," which was written as a response to the Occupy movement and produced around the world in 2012-13 as part of "Theatre Uncut"; "The Wager," the stage version of the film "Double or Nothing" starring Adam Brody; three two-handers, and two powerful new monologues.
