Book Overview
Your career as a writer is blossoming, your beautiful, young fiancee is waiting to get married and rush off to Cancun by your side--so what is your natural reaction? Well, if you're a man, it's probably to get nervous and start calling up old girlfriends. And so begins a single man's odyssey through four hotel rooms as he flies across the country in search of the perfect woman (that he's already broken up with). Some Girl(s) is the latest work from Neil Labute, American theater's great agent provocateur. In grand LaBute fashion, this by turns outrageously funny and deadly serious portrait of the artist as a young seducer casts a truthful, hilarious light on a typical young American male as he wanders through the heart of darkness that is himself. This edition includes a deleted scene.

such an entertaining read. Makes me want to suggest that our nearby Theatre Company do a review if it!
Truth and Consequence
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is latest addition to LaBute's body of work and one of my favorites to be sure. LaBute's gift for dialogue lends itself perfectly to the awkward banter between exes. The story revolves around a man who wants to apologize to his ex-girlfriends before getting married. While the piece does have a signature LaBute twist the main character of this piece is less abrasive than some of LaBute's other creations. In each of the four vignettes we see the tangled web of relationships, and how we all as humans manipulate each other and our own reality. In each story we can see a piece of ourselves whether we want to admit it or not. It is LaBute's talent for illustrating the truth of the human condition that makes him such a wonderful writer. Two thumbs way up! A bonus in this addition is a fifth vignette, not performed in London or New York, which rounds out the piece nicely.
