The Wake
Tom Murphy
In the Wake; A bold, ambitious, political play about contemporary America - 'a candidate to be the Angels in America of the Bush II decade' (San Francisco Chronicle).
"Luminous…Kron marries vigorous political probing with pitch-perfect humor and heartache.” —The New Yorker. “A powerful, engrossing and very funny examination of blind spots seen and missed…a big, ambitious work that attempts to define a political era through the personal stories of a group of people affected by it…IN THE WAKE is a serious and engrossing examination of a recent period in our history.” —New York Observer. “Formidable…full of sharp, smart dialogue…its message rings all too true.” —Associated Press. ”The morning after seeing IN THE WAKE, don't be surprised if Lisa Kron's resolute, maddening, emotionally distraught and very familiar characters are still rumbling around in your head like the after effects of an intense dream…an astute and challenging play that scrutinizes American history with laser-beam precision."
