Paperback. Zustand: Good. Sexy, daring, darkly hilarious--and award-winning playwright Neil LaBute's first officially billed comedy--The Money Shot lands as sharp and hot as a paparazzo's camera flash in a starlet's eye.   It's been years since either one's had a hit, but the latest movie by a hot-shot European director could change that. The night before filming a big scene (that will undoubtedly assure them a spot back on the pop culture radar), Karen, her partner Bev, Steve, and his aspiring actress wife, Missy, meet in order to make an important decision: How far will they let themselves go to keep from slipping further down the Hollywood food chain.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Your career as a writer is blossoming, your beautiful, young fiancee is waiting to get married and rush off to Cancun by your side - so what is your natural reaction? Well, if you're a man, it's probably to get nervous and start calling up old girlfriends. And so begins a single man's odyssey through four hotel rooms, as he flies across the country in search of the perfect woman (whom he's already broken up with). In grand LaBute fashion, this by turns outrageously funny and deadly serious portrait of the artist as a young seducer casts a truthful, hilarious light on a typical young American male as he wanders through the heart of darkness that is himself. 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 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.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. "Sitting in an automobile was where I first remember understanding how drama works.Hidden in the back seat of a sedan, I quickly realized how deep the chasm or intense the claustrophobia could be inside your average family car." --Neil LaBute Be it the medium for clandestine couplings, arguments, shelter, or ultimately transportation, the automobile is perhaps the most authentically American of spaces. In Autobahn, Neil LaBute's provocative new collection of one-act plays set within the confines of the front seat, the playwright employs his signature plaintive insight to great effect, investigating the inchoate apprehension that surrounds the steering wheel. Each of these seven brief vignettes explore the ethos of perception and relationship--from a make-out session gone awry to a kidnapping thinly disguised as a road trip, a reconnaissance mission involving the rescue of a Nintendo 64 to a daughter's long ride home after her release from rehab. The result is an unsettling montage that gradually reveals the scabrous force of words left unsaid while illuminating the delicate interplay between intention and morality, capturing the essence of middle America and the myriad paths which cross its surface.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Award-winning playwright Neil LaBute's All The Ways to Say I Love You collects two plays and one short story that are "compelling . . . redolent of classical tragedy" (Financial Times).   In All The Ways to Say I Love You, Neil LaBute's "haunting, heartrending" (AP) play, Mrs. Johnson is a high school English teacher in a loving marriage. As she recounts her experiences with a favored student from her past, Mrs. Johnson slowly reveals the truth that is hidden just beneath the surface details of her life, in this riveting solo play about love, hard choices, and the cost of fulfilling an all-consuming desire.   Also included is All My White Sins Forgiven, the evocative one-act companion play that gives depth and context to All The Ways to Say I Love You. In this engrossing two-hander, Mrs. Johnson's husband, Eric, and his friend, Todd, banter, shoot hoops, and work their way around to talking some truth about their lives, their marriages, their children, and their own secrets and dreams.   Rounding out the volume and an inspiration for the two plays is the short story "With Hair of Hand-Spun Gold," a masterfully crafted piece of prose that is pure Neil LaBute--as dark and timeless as any Grimm's fairytale yet as chillingly modern as a teenage girl chatting with an anonymous new "friend" on the Internet. …
