Synopsis

This volume combines some of Craig Lucas’ best known work, including Reckless ("a bittersweet fable for our time"—Frank Rich, The New York Times) and Blue Window ("…the clarity of a Mozart quintet.

And it is faultlessly spun."—Dan Sullivan, The Los Angeles Times) with his newest play, Stranger.

The three plays continue the author’s exploration of the nature of relationships in an ever increasingly distant society.

Craig Lucas is the author of Prelude to a Kiss, both a success on Broadway and as a motion picture, The Dying Gaul, God’s Heart, Missing Persons and Longtime Companion. He is currently at work on numerous projects for theatre and film.

Press Reviews

"Even more bravely the ever-questing author of ''Prelude to a Kiss'' and 'The Dying Gaul' here presents an extreme portrait of a couple that suggests that at the heart of all relationships are the urges to torture and be hurt. Whatever role you chose, it seems, there is fear and loathing in love, much of it self-directed." - New York Times"Stranger is a behind the headlines thriller with a sociological subtext...a gripping, edge-of-the-seat experience." - Curtain Up"'Stranger' picks up where 'The Dying Gaul' left off. The question it asks is this: when you’ve suffered inexplicable cruelty, how do you continue to live without being consumed by bitterness and a desire for revenge? Ever the nimble theater artist, Lucas embeds this inquiry into a deceptively simple plot."
