Beskrivelse

"Prayer for My Enemy dares to ask smart and hard questions about a homegrown violence that reaches from suburban backyards into the battlefields of Iraq... Mr. Lucas is one of the theater's most probing and poetic characters of the sinister undertow that pulses beneath daily American life." -Ben Brantley, New York Times "A multilayered, deeply unsettling and beautifully conceived new work." -Linda Winer, Newsday Craig Lucas "can masterfully distill a world of hurt and perplexity into complicated relations and single, pithy lines" (The Seattle Times), which is never more evident than in his latest play of public and private turmoil in today's America. In Prayer for My Enemy we meet the Noone family: son Billy returns from Iraq, his pregnant sister Marianne marries Billy's friend and former lover Tad, and his mother Karen tries to keep her husband Austin from falling off the wagon--all while the Red Sox and Yankees battle for the 2004 pennant. With Prayer for My Enemy, Lucas returns to the dark territory he has explored with earlier works, "bringing light and craft to previously unlit corners," and illuminating the ways he is "one of the American theater's best writers" (Variety). 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.
