The Distance From Here

Synopsis

“LaBute, in his most ambitious and best play to date, gets inside the emptiness of American culture, the masquerade and the evil of neglect.

THE DISTANCE FROM HERE, it seems to me, is a new title to be added to the short list of important contemporary plays.”John Lahr, The New Yorker “LaBute’s skill, and the shortness of the scenes, are compelling...[his] excellent writing generates an exact depiction of empty soulless, thoughtless lives.”Hal Jensen, Times Literary Supplement
