Synopsis

Book by John Patrick Shanley, Shanley, John Patrick

Press Reviews

"Conceived with sharp insight into the lives of losers, conveyed with a friskly and often hilarious wit…"

— New York Daily News

"John Patrick Shanley has written an often searing, existential and dramatically compelling work dealing with our search for roots and purpose in an often purposeless world."

— BackStage

"Although filled with comic lines, SAVAGE IN LIMBO has the serious intent of laying bare the unstated dreams and thwarted possibilities of its artfully drawn denizens."

— Drama-Logue
