What readers are saying
Readers find Small Tragedy to be a thought-provoking backstage comedy that captures the chaos of staging a play. Many appreciate its interesting characters and the blend of humor with deeper themes, though some express that it is better suited for performance than reading. The complexity of dialogue and the final scene leave varying impressions among the audience.
Synopsis
137 page drama by Craig Lucas
Press Reviews
"Anyone who has ever fallen in love with an actor-or, for that matter, with theater itself-will find a whole lot to cherish. Who could fail to be moved by the play's quiet insistence that Greek tragedy can still serve as a guidepost on the rough road of life, that theater still has the power to help us wrest meaning from suffering?"
— Variety"Full of interest, intelligence, amusement, and spine-chilling verity.'' - Village Voice
