Craig Lucas is a playwright, screenwriter and director of both theater and film. His plays include Prelude to a Kiss, The Dying Gaul, The Singing Forest, Small Tragedy, Reckless, Blue Window, Prayer for My Enemy, God's Heart and the books for the musicals The Light in the Piazza, An American in Paris and Amelie.
'Small Tragedy is filled with provocative questions that American
plays should be asking at a fraught and confusing moment in this
country’s history… An impeccably sustained balance of the abstract
and the particular, of the comic and the dramatic… Lucas’s habitual
brooding fatalism has never seemed more relevant.'
*New York Times*
'Full of interest, intelligence, amusement, and spine-chilling
verity… Small Tragedy is a play to see and ponder, staying with
you, in typical Lucas fashion, long after you leave the
theater.'
*Village Voice*
'Lucas, a former actor himself, beautifully conveys the sudden,
sweet intimacy that springs up between artists engaged in a
grandiose adventure on a ninety-nine-cent budget… Small moments
catch fire, sympathetic glances take on unexpected meaning, tender
alliances are formed… So impeccably natural it seems
unscripted.'
*Variety*
