Overview
Quietly melancholic Margulies has a near-matchless ear for what common speech can express and what it can only hint at. He explores the queasy relationships between life and art, love and estrangement, and the bane that is American identity drift, with unsparing but compassionate candor.ā Misha Berson, Seattle Times
Marguliesās remarkable gift of building characterization through realistic dialogue is undiminished. Full of aching ruefulness that underlies the comedy, Brooklyn Boyās scenes are written with precision and humor. The play isnāt about Brooklyn, nor is it about a boyitās about a man without a home.ā Don Shirley, Los Angeles Times
This new play by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Dinner with Friends follows the career of Eric Weiss, a writer whose novel hits the bestseller list the same time his life begins to unravel. His wife is out the door, his father is in the hospital, and his childhood friend thinks he has sold himself to the devil. A funny and emotionally rich look at family, friends and fame.
