Some Girl(s): A Play (Gorgias Press and Us and Updated to Include New Develop) - Softcover

The most legitimately provocative and polarizing playwright at work today. "David Amsden, New York magazine"

[LaBute's] view of modern men and women is unsparing . . . [He] is holding up a pitiless mirror to ourselves. We may not like what we see, but we can't deny that--if only in some dark corner of our souls--it is there. "Jacques le Sourd, The Journal News (White Plains, NY)"

LaBute . . . continues to probe the fascinating dark side of individualism . . . [His] great gift is to live in and to chronicle that murky area of not-knowing, which mankind spends much of its waking life denying. "John Lahr, The New Yorker""
