{"product_id":"9781593762827","title":"Filthy Talk for Troubled Times: And Other Plays","description":"\u003cbr\u003eNeil LaBute burst onto the American theater scene in 1989 with his controversial debut work \u003ci\u003eFilthy Talk for Troubled Times\u003c\/i\u003e. Set in a barroom in Anytown USA and populated by a series of everymen (and two beleaguered everywomen), this series of frank exchanges explores the innumerable varieties of American intolerance. A unique snapshot of the times, the play — seldom allowed production by the author since — provides a compelling look at the early thinking and evolution of one of our great theater artists.\u003cbr\u003eAlso in this collection is a series of new, short works, some never before produced. They include “The New Testament,” a showbiz satire that takes a close look at the perils of color-blind casting, and “The Furies,” in which a woman helps navigate her brother’s breakup with his out-and-then-perhaps, in-the-closet-again lover.","brand":"Soft Skull Press, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47035476181232,"sku":"9781593762827","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781593762827_p0.jpg?v=1763813774","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781593762827","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
