For more than 25 years, Paul Rudnick?s plays have been making America split its stitches in laughter. Published to coincide with the paperback of his sure-to-be popular and hilarious memoir-in-essays, I SHUDDER, this collection of his plays will remind readers far and wide of the great influence that Rudnick?s comedic timing has had on the world of American theater. Here are I HATE HAMLET, the play that marked Rudnick?s onstage beginning and that forms the basis of his unforgettable, NEW YORKER -- excerpted essay "I Hit Hamlet"; JEFFREY, the long-running Off-Broadway smash about gay life during the aftermath of the AIDS crisis in the early ?90s -- and the basis for the hit film starring Patrick Stewart, Steven Weber, and Nathan Lane; and three other onstage smashes filled with Rudnick?s signature rapier wit.
THE COLLECTED PLAYS OF PAUL RUDNICK will be a must-have item for any fan of this theatrical master -- and a necessary addition to all courses in dramatic literature.
