Brooklyn Boy
by Donald Margulies

"Margulies' remarkable gift of building characterization through realistic dialogue is undiminished. Full of aching ruefulness that underlies the comedy, BROOKLYN BOY's scenes are written with precision and humor. The play isn't about Brooklyn, nor is it about a boy—it's about a man without a home.“ —Los Angeles Times. ”BROOKLYN BOY is the funniest and one of Margulies' most moving plays. This comedy delivers the kind of humane pleasures that brought audiences from all over New York City to Broadway during the post–World War II era. For those who have watched Margulies develop…BROOKLYN BOY offers the subtler pleasure of watching a master deftly weave so many lifelong themes into this comedy-drama's colorful fabric.“ —San Diego Union-Tribune. ”The rewards of success and fame are weighed with poignant complexity in Donald Margulies' midlife reflection, which traces a suddenly celebrated writer's unwitting struggle to reconnect with his past…[BROOKLYN BOY] is illuminated by sensitivity"
