The Dying Gaul is Craig Lucas’s best work by far. This powerful parable jolts us with questions and doesn't insult us with answers.” –Donald Lyons, Wall Street Journal“The Dying Gaul is a fascinating new play! Even more theatrically imaginative and engaging than Prelude to a Kiss! Craig Lucas is writing better than ever these days.” –Vincent Canby, New York TimesThis volume contains two of Craig Lucas’s most powerful and provocative full-length plays—God’s Heart and The Dying Gaul—with a suite of nine one-act plays. Together they illustrate the remarkable range and scope of a truly original American playwright.Other plays in this collection include:What I Meant WasUnmemorableThrowing Your VoiceGriefThe Boom BoxBad DreamIf Columbus Does Not Figure in Your Travel PlansBoyfriend RiffCredo","brand":"Smartfox Books","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41506362884229,"sku":"PR1579","price":51.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0213\/3637\/files\/9781559361590_SWGC4MDOSVD8.jpg?v=1769622576","url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.com.au\/products\/what-i-meant-was","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
