Inhaltsangabe

In these three plays (Exact Change, Hair of the Dog, and Shades), dramatist and screenwriter David Epstein brilliantly sketches the bleak, despairing—and howlingly funny—underside of contemporary American life.

“I haven’t laughed so much in a theater all year. With Epstein’s blackish sense of humor and wry relish of the odd, his play fizzes with talent.”—Benedict Nightingale, The Times of London

“You begin by watching unexplained actions; and when exposition arrives it propels the action through the roof. . . . By this time, Exact Change has also parted company with Mamet and revealed itself as more than an efficient laughter-machine. Nothing halts the present-tense narrative; but, from throwaway lines, you begin to assemble detail about the past . . . One sign of this writer's quality is that he can bring the piece to such an ending without jumping the comic rails: chilling but still brilliant.”—Irving Wardle, The Independent on Sunday
