Reviews

"The most legitimately provocative and polarizing playwright at work today." --David Amsden, New York magazine

"[LaBute's] view of modern men and women is unsparing . . . [He] is holding up a pitiless mirror to ourselves. We may not like what we see, but we can't deny that--if only in some dark corner of our souls--it is there." --Jacques le Sourd, The Journal News (White Plains, NY)

"LaBute . . . continues to probe the fascinating dark side of individualism . . . [His] great gift is to live in and to chronicle that murky area of not-knowing, which mankind spends much of its waking life denying." --John Lahr, The New Yorker
