Laughing Wild and Baby with the Bathwater (eBook, ePUB)

Two Plays

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A pair of plays from the comic genius who gave us the Tony Award-winning Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike. Baby and the Bathwater follows its main character from infancy to adulthood, in a confusing search for identity after an unusual upbringing. In Laughing Wild, two comic monologues evolve into a man and a woman's shared nightmare of modern life and the isolation it creates. From her turf battles at the supermarket to the desperate clichés of self-affirmation he learns at his "personality workshop," they run the gamut of everyday life's small brutalizations until they meet, with disastrous inevitability, at the Harmonic Convergence in Central Park. The fiercely ironic dark comedy of Christopher Durang can be perfectly described by the quotation-by Thomas Gray via Samuel Beckett-that inspired one of these play's titles: "Laughing wild amid severest woe." "One of the funniest dramatists alive, and one of the most sharply satiric."- The New Yorker
