Opis

Terrence McNally is one of our most original and audacious dramatists and one of our funniest. The New Yorker
These three stunning plays are a testament to the extraordinary talent and comedic brilliance of Terrence McNally. All produced off-Broadway to great acclaim, his most recent works are gathered here for the first time in a unique collection of drama, romance, and comedy. The Lisbon Traviata is a powerfully moving tragicomedy about a crumbling homosexual marriage. And in Frankie and Johnnie in the Clair de Lune, a man and a woman, not young, not old, no great beauties, either one, come together in a fresh and witty display of emotional fireworks. McNally himself describes the final piece, the bitingly honest and uproariously funny It s Only a Play, as his attempt to describe exactly what I was like to work in Broadway in the 1980s. These three unforgettable works, starkly individual yet all charged with brilliant wit and searing intimacy, dazzle us with McNally s wisdom, compassion, and extraordinary brand of comic genius."
