About
Craig Lucas "can masterfully distill a world of hurt and perplexity into complicated relations and single, pithy lines" (The Seattle Times), which is never more evident than in his latest play of public and private turmoil in today's America. Here we find the Noone family: son Billy returns from Iraq, his pregnant sister Marianne marries Billy's friend and former lover Tad, his mother Karen tries to keep her husband Austin from falling off the wagon-all while the Red Sox and Yankees battle for the 2004 pennant. With Prayer for My Enemy, Lucas returns to the dark territory he has explored with earlier works, "bringing light and craft to previously unlit corners," and illuminating the ways he is "one of the American theater's best writers" (Variety).
