Lisa Kron : In the Wake before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised In the Wake:

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Brilliantly thought-provokingBy Jessie BaldingerIf you like allegorical personal struggles that act as a microcosm for hugely difficult issues facing our country and the world, you'll love this play. The dialogue is always gripping, and there are a lot of funny moments. Every character is completely rounded, and they each have a point of view that is perfectly and realistically in line with with who they are. It is worth reading a bit about Kron's intentions before actually reading the play. All in all, this play is a an incredibly -thought-out, brilliant, and unsettling commentary on the way we (Americans) view ourselves and our country.0 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Narcissism masquerading as courage.By Christopher B. ConnellyThis play embodies everything that is wrong with American drama. again the focus is the problems of rich white people and how they suffer. Politics, human rights, race, class are used as brain candy but the focus is always on how difficult romantic/family relationships are. Sex issues are far more important than everything else in the characters' lives. For sure there a biracial niece thrown into the mix for a few pages but the mention of race only distracts for about half a page. In short, the play is guilty of the same self absorption it thinks the country is - narcissism masquerading as courage.

"Funny, moving, and undeniably sexy. The heady blend of smart dialogue and characters... makes it a candidate to be the Angels in America of the Bush II decade." —San Francisco Chronicle"Luminous... Kron marries vigorous political probing with pitch-perfect humor and heartache." -New Yorker"In the Wake is a serious and engrossing examination of a recent period in our history. It is a big, ambitious work." -New York Observer"Don't be surprised if Kron's resolute, maddening, emotionally distraught and very familiar characters are still rumbling around in your head like the after effects of an intense dream... An astute and challenging play that scrutinizes American history with laser- beam precision." -TimeOut New YorkOn Thanksgiving Day, after the controversial 2000 election, political junkie Ellen gathers with family and friends in her cramped apartment. Soon after, she experience an unexpected passionate encounter, and discovers that ideas about America and our own selves are not as fixed as they once seemed.Lisa Kron is the author of the book and lyrics to the musical , and the plays Well and 2.5 Minute Ride, among others.
