Your Friends and Neighbors
The intimacy between husband and wife, the trust between friend and neighbor, the mindsets that determine so many of people's actions today are scrutinized and found wanting. LaBute, who has been described as the new Kubrick, creates a representative yet recognisable world through the use of language filled with the complex nuances of everyday speech.
