NEIL LABUTE: HOW AMERICAN THEATRE LOST IT


Click here to see Labute's latest diatribe, as printed in the English paper The Guardian, where he talks about how he was first inspired by contemporary British playwrights like David Hare and Caryl Churchill.

Disclaimer: I don't really like Neil Labute. At his last play at The Public Theater, he kicked my chair on purpose because he saw me looking at my Playbill, figuring I was not paying attention to the play. Apparently, he has not learned that critics often take notes in a Playbill during a show. And with the sole exception of THE SHAPE OF THINGS, I don't think his work is that good.
