Tracy Letts Boeken
Tracy Letts is een Amerikaanse toneelschrijver en acteur wiens werken personages onderzoeken die worstelen met diepgaande morele en spirituele vragen. Zijn schrijfstijl staat bekend om zijn rauwe intensiteit en onverschrokken portrettering van mensen die tot het uiterste worden gedreven en zichzelf vaak in extreme omstandigheden bevinden. Geïnspireerd door de literaire tradities van auteurs als Tennessee Williams en William Faulkner, gebruikt Letts meesterlijk geluid als een krachtig vertel-instrument, waarmee hij impactvolle en onvergetelijke theaterervaringen creëert.
This scathing new comedy about small-town politics and real-world power, from the author of August: Osage County, exposes the ugliness behind some of our most closely-held American narratives while asking each of us what we would do to keep from becoming history's losers. "Certain to be the single work of art that best represents, but will also survive, the Trump era." - Variety "Explosive... Deftly captures the tension of patriotic grandiosity and provincial defensiveness found in city halls across the land." - Chicago Tribune "Astonishing... a pitch-black comedy about the current state of American politics." - Chicago Sun-Times
