A Light Lunch
by A R Gurney

“The gentlemanly playwright A R Gurney casually tosses his own metaphorical shoe…in the direction of our departing president in his latest politically minded play, A LIGHT LUNCH.

Mr Gurney take[s] jovial, self-deprecating jabs at his own foibles, and the follies of the theater business too.”Charles Isherwood, New York Times “A R Gurney’s jokey new play, A LIGHT LUNCH, is refreshingly unlike most contemporary American political theater.

Plenty of laughs, and no shortage of fun moments between the performers.

It’s a “Lunch” worth chewing over!”Variety “Gurney has fun mocking theatrical conventions….”Backstage “A R Gurney's tasty new play…A LIGHT LUNCH, his latest work about our soon-to-be ex-President, is a model of political theater.

The beauty of it is that its politics and its theater could not be more inextricably bound.

Exquisitely self-aware, A LIGHT LUNCH uses the theater—and self-deprecating comments about A R Gurney himself—to make serio-comic points about George Bush throughout the play.

…The emphasis of the production…is on the text of Gurney's play, which is where the focus rightly belongs.”Barbara & Scott Siegel, TheaterMania.com
