Can't go wrong with Shanley,
By A Customer
This review is from: Italian American Reconciliation. (Paperback)
Why is John Patrick Shanley so irrespresibly delicious to both read and perform? Perhaps it is Mr. Shanley's ubiquitous humor that insidiously weaves through a fabric of raw human cruelty and even harsher reality. Mr. Shanley beautifully and painfully reminds us that life and relationships are often as lonely and unbearable as they are hysterically funny and sweet. Although no *Danny and the Deep Blue Sea* or *Savage in Limbo*, with *Italian American Reconciliation* Mr. Shanley once again delivers his usual cinematic, almost visual dialogue, only to be filled out with mercifully humane and sometimes brutally real characters. For the actor, Shanley's words, characters, and stories are like undiscovered treasure just waiting to be shared; for the reader, we are given the promise and description of the treasure, with the reclamation of the motherload waiting only for our imagination to take us there!

A touching play,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Italian American Reconciliation. (Paperback)
Shanley nailed this play, a tale about a forlorn man who misses his bad-influence wife and so leaves his girlfriend to make a play to get her back. His best friend is stuck in the middle. A dark comedy of sorts, but mostly a lesson in getting over lost love. A must for any hopeless romantic.
