This collection brings back into print one of Craig Lucas best known and enduring works, Prelude to a Kiss, which was both a hit on Broadway and a popular motion picture. Missing Persons, an updated version of Lucas first play, is also included in the collection, along with Three Postcards, an offbeat and uniquely imaginative free form musical play.Prelude to a KissIt is rare to find a play so suffused with sorrow that sends one home so high. Frank Rich, New York TimesLucas zaps you into a fantasy land with thoughtfulness and buoyant grace. A sensitive meditation on immortality, commitment and the mysteries of the heart. Seattle TimesAbsolutely charming and immediately endearing?a fairytale adventure into the human heart. The NewsHaroldMissing PersonsAn expressly theatrical, resonant metaphor for the way memory can cripple. What Lucas does so well is find a uniquely whimsical expression for the cataclysmic menace and hostility lurking in the prose of everyday life. New York TimesA truly intelligent play, one that is literary and heartfelt and beautifully written, a dramatic rarity in these or any times. New York PostThree PostcardsUnderstated and minimalist in style, the play blends casual dialog, clever lyrics and warmly melodic music to explore the inner thoughts and tensions of its characters. New York Daily NewsGertrude Stein would have enjoyed this one. New YorkerCraig Lucas is a playwright, screenwriter and director.
