Synopsis

This collection brings back into print one of Craig Lucas’ best known and enduring works, A Prelude to a Kiss, which was both a hit on Broadway and a popular motion picture.

Frank Rich in The New York Times wrote about Prelude, "It is rare to find a play so suffused with sorrow that sends one home so high."

Also included are Missing Persons, "a truly intelligent play, one that is literary and heartfelt, beautifully written…a well-crafted, moving story, a dramatic rarity in these or any times "(New York Post), and Three Postcards, an offbeat and uniquely imaginative free form musical play.

Craig Lucas is also the author of Reckless and Blue Window and What I Mean Was.

He lives in Putnam Valley, New York.

Press Reviews

"This offbeat and uniquely imaginative “free form” musical play, explores the ups and downs in the lives of three woman friends who meet for dinner and revealing conversation in a chic Manhattan restaurant. Understated and minimalist in style, the play blends seemingly casual dialogue, cleverly appropriate lyrics, and warmly melodic music to explore the inner thoughts and tensions of its characters. “THREE POSTCARDS is a funny and touching evening.” —New York Daily News. “Lucas has set out to explore just how uncommon everyday life is when our dreams, memories, fantasies and true feelings are brought to the surface.” —The Hollywood Reporter. “…a handsome piece of work.” —Drama-Logue. “Gertrude Stein would have enjoyed this one."
— The New Yorker
