The Hater
Matt Lyle
Book by Jeffrey Hatcher
"SMASH is witty, cunning, intelligent, and skillful. It is also generous, something cleverness isn't always. Like Tom Stoppard, the author makes you the audience feel just as clever as he. Brillliant writing.“ —Seattle Weekly. ”SMASH is a wonderfully high-style British comedy of manners that evokes the world of Shaw's high-minded heroes and heroines, but shaped by a postmodern sensibility…The result is uncanny, a hybrid with two voices that, depending on your reference points, either feels like the practice of channeling or more like a well-thought-out (albeit posthumous) artistic collaboration.“ —Seattle Herald. ”The story mixes equal parts political comedy with comedy of manners…it is a sparkling evening of Shaw for our post-Stoppard age, with loads of clever wordplay and impassioned debate about the structure of society and the preferred form of change…a fine evening out in high Shavian fashion."
— Backstage West
