Читать книгу Linda Vista (TCG Edition) - Tracy Letts - Страница 2

“A serious comedy about the midlife crisis of a newly divorced man who doesn’t know how to listen to women—or anyone else, for that matter. At once repellent and sympathetic, Linda Vista draws you into the shared plights of its dissatisfied characters with absolute assurance.”

—TERRY TEACHOUT, WALL STREET JOURNAL

“Mr. Letts has created a profoundly personal, beautifully honest piece of work that deeply engages the audience . . . There’s karaoke, lots of uninhibited sex, rich conversation, many laughs, and love. Much more love than appears at first glance.”

—SAMUEL GARZA BERNSTEIN, STAGE AND CINEMA

“Linda Vista is a well-crafted dramedy with laughs and pathos in the right places . . . Letts’s sharp dialogue and shipshape dramaturgy make for a smooth ride.”

—DAVID COTE, OBSERVER

“Letts excels at character, dialogue, and psychology . . . In Linda Vista, the dramatic writing has a kinetic kick, the dialogue is potently funny, and the psychological dynamics are riveting in their accuracy.”

—CHARLES MCNULTY, LOS ANGELES TIMES

“A very funny new play about a very sad man . . . Irresistible.”

—GREG EVANS, DEADLINE

“Exceedingly funny . . . Letts has a tremendous gift for capturing misbehavior among and between the sexes . . . A keenly astute character study about a man in desperate need of a lifeline, cluelessly lost in the gravitational pull of middle age . . . We are with him, laughing and crying all the way.”

—ROMA TORRE, NY1
