Some Girls By Neil LaBute
Monday, August 23 at 7:30 p.m.
Guy, a blossoming writer, is pushing 40 and finally on the verge of getting married. His young fiancé is waiting at the alter and is ready to rush off to Cancún -so what's his 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 (whom he's already broken up with) whom he suspects he might not have treated all that well. These include the high school sweetheart in Seattle he dumped just before prom night; a free-spirited sexual play-thing in Chicago; an older, fire-and-ice college professor in Boston; and the woman he really loved, in Los Angeles.
SOME GIRL(S) from Neil LaBute, American theater's great provocateur, turns outrageously funny and deadly serious as a seducer casts a truthful, hilarious light on a typical American male as he wanders through the heart of darkness that is himself.
"[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
