Reasons to Be Happy: A Play - Paperback

by Neil Labute (Author)

Reasons to Be Happy features the same four characters--Greg, Steph, Carly, and Kent--picking up their lives three years later, but in different romantic pairings as they each search desperately for that elusive object of desire: happiness.

Author Biography

Neil LaBute is arguably the most challenging, provocative, and acclaimed playwright of his generation. In works like "bash," "The Shape of Things," "Fat Pig," and "reasons to be pretty," he superbly engages with such themes as men and women, sex and power, deception and manipulation, with the humane sensibility of an artist who, as John Lahr wrote in "The New Yorker," "does not trivialize darkness but treats it with proper awe."
