From the author of Bach at Leipzig (Faber, 2005) comes a new play about loyalty, integrity, and the price of success. When Benjamin’s first novel vaults him into literary stardom, his friend David, a struggling playwright, is thrilled for his newfound success . . . or is he? Should Benjamin help David by using his new connections? Can David even expect such favors from his friend? More importantly, who should pick up the tab at lunch? Hailed as a writer who “makes the kinds of stylistic gambles that should be applauded” (Eric Grode, The New York Sun), Itamar Moses proves once again with this inventive exploration of the evershifting ground of friendship that he is a playwright to watch. The Four of Us will have its off-Broadway premiere in March 2008 at Manhattan Theatre Club.

Not Moses' Best, Alright Play,
By

This review is from: Four of Us, The (Samuel French Acting Editions) (Paperback)
I am theatre major in college and bought this play because I'm a big fan of Itamar Moses' other plays such as Bach at Leipzig and Outrage. This play tells the story of two (yes two, not four) friends and their friendship overtime, but not in chronological order. Each scene represents a different time and the play spans their friendship over a period of time while exploring how success or lack thereof can impact a friendship. There are some good monologues in this play and some funny parts, but overall I didn't like this as well as Moses' other works. I haven't seen it performed, maybe it really comes alive on stage, but for me reading this play wasn't as enjoyable as many other plays I've read by Moses and other contemporary playwrights.

Oh my! When I saw Jerusalem I said: this play is so brilliant it must be easy to write. When
I saw this load of mush I said: it is probably more difficult to write a horrible play.
