Here is your sneak peek at Rogues Theatre's presentation of Some Girl(s) by Niel LaBute, in partnership with Pangloss Productions!
Neil Labute’s Some Girls opens the season at The Pumphouse Theatre, October 27-November 6, 2010.
Your career as a writer is blossoming, your beautiful, young fiancée
is waiting to get married and rush off to Cancún by your side—so what
is your 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). SOME GIRL(S) is a highly entertaining work
from Neil LaBute, American theater's great agent provocateur. An
outrageously funny, yet deadly serious portrait of the artist as a
young seducer; Labute casts a truthful, hilarious light on a typical
young Amrerican 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
“LaBute...continues to probe the fascinating dark side of
individualism... [His] great gift is to live in and to chronicle that
murky area of not-knowing, which mankind spends much of its waking
life denying.” -John Lahr, The New Yorker
