New York. Middle of the night. Now.

Meet Beth and Doug: two people who have no problem getting dates with their partners of choice. What they do have is an awkward encounter after spending one hit night together following a drunken wedding reception.

Slyly profound and irresistibly passionate, The Way We Get By is Neil LaBute’s audacious tale of a very modern romance—a sharp, sexy, fresh look at love and lust and the whole damn thing.

“Viscerally romantic, almost shockingly sensitive, even, dare we say it, sweet … LaBute … dares here to explore less obviously explosive territory. Yet, somehow, this daring feels deep.”

—Linda Winer, Newsday

Karen and Steve are glamorous movie stars with one thing in common: desperation. How far will they let themselves go to keep from slipping further down the Hollywood food chain?

Sexy, daring, darkly hilarious—and Neil LaBute’s first officially billed comedy—The Money Shot lands as sharp and hot as a paparazzo’s camera flash in a starlet’s eye.

“A wickedly funny new comedy.”

—Jennifer Farrar, Associated Press

Things We Said Today features the scripts for Neil LaBute’s groundbreaking DirecTV project Ten x Ten—a series of short films written and directed by LaBute based on ten compelling original monologues, five each for men and women.

Also included are five short plays displaying the power and scope of LaBute’s creative vision. In Pick One, written for the “Theatre Uncut” project and addressing the question “Do we get more ‘right wing’ in hard times?”, three white guys come up with a way to solve America’s problems. In The Possible, one young woman seduces another’s boyfriend for an unexpected reason. Call Back features an actress and actor who spar about a past encounter that she remembers much better than he does. Good Luck (In Farsi), “a pleasingly astringent study in competitiveness and vanity” (The New York Times) has two actresses pulling out all the stops in a pre-audition psych out; and in Squeeze Play a father and his son’s baseball coach strike a mutually beneficial deal.

Rounding out the collection are two monologues from Center Stage Theatre’s “My America” project.
