Paperback. Zustand: Good. Composer Adam Guettel, best known for his Floyd Collins, has teamed with Prelude to a Kiss playwright Craig Lucas to create a passionate and soaring new musical based on Elizabeth Spencer's 1960 novella, which was first published as an entire issue of The New Yorker. It is the story of an American ingénue abroad, whose chance meeting of a charming young Italian in a Florentine piazza sets off a whirlwind romance--with an unsettling revelation. The Light in the Piazza opens on Broadway at the Lincoln Center Theater this spring after major productions already in Seattle and Chicago.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. God's Heart is a play which dares to say very ugly things from a very moral place, which risks censure in an effort to reach an ugly truth; a play that's wise to its own inescapable shortcomings and addresses them as part of its subject; a play which ought to have been greeted with exhilaration and joy, for it courageously refuses restraint and risks everything to live up to its impossible-to-live-up-to title. -Tony Kushner, Civilization MagazineBest American play of the year The Dying Gaul is Craig Lucas's best work by far. This powerful parable jolts us with questions and doesn't insult us with answers. -Donald Lyons, Wall Street JournalThe Dying Gaul is a fascinating new play Even more theatrically imaginative and engaging than Prelude to a Kiss Craig Lucas is writing better than ever these days. -Vincent Canby, New York Times This volume contains two of Craig Lucas's most powerful and provocative full-length plays--God's Heart and The Dying Gaul--with a suite of nine one-act plays. Together they illustrate the remarkable range and scope of a truly original American playwright. Other plays in this collection include: What I Meant WasUnmemorableThrowing Your VoiceGriefThe Boom BoxBad DreamIf Columbus Does Not Figure in Your Travel PlansBoyfriend RiffCredo.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. This collection brings back into print one of Craig Lucas' best known and enduring works, Prelude to a Kiss, which was both a hit on Broadway and a popular motion picture. Missing Persons, an updated version of Lucas' first play, is also included in the collection, along with Three Postcards, an offbeat and uniquely imaginative free form musical play. Prelude to a Kiss "It is rare to find a play so suffused with sorrow that sends one home so high." -Frank Rich, New York Times "Lucas zaps you into a fantasy land with thoughtfulness and buoyant grace. A sensitive meditation on immortality, commitment and the mysteries of the heart." -Seattle Times "Absolutely charming and immediately endearing.a fairy-tale adventure into the human heart." -The News-Harold Missing Persons "An expressly theatrical, resonant metaphor for the way memory can cripple. What Lucas does so well is find a uniquely whimsical expression for the cataclysmic menace and hostility lurking in the prose of everyday life." -New York Times "A truly intelligent play, one that is literary and heartfelt and beautifully written, a dramatic rarity in these or any times." -New York Post Three Postcards "Understated and minimalist in style, the play blends casual dialog, clever lyrics and warmly melodic music to explore the inner thoughts and tensions of its characters." -New York Daily News "Gertrude Stein would have enjoyed this one." -New Yorker Craig Lucas is a playwright, screenwriter and director. His plays include Prelude to a Kiss, Reckless, Blue Window, God's Heart, The Singing Forest and Small Tragedy. His screenplays include Longtime Companion, The Secret Lives of Dentists and The Dying Gaul, which he also directed. Mr. Lucas' awards include the L.A. Drama Critics Award, an OBIE Award for Best Play and Best Director, and the Excellence in Literature Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.…
