“LaBute … gets inside the emptiness of American culture, the masquerade and the evil of neglect. The Distance from Here, it seems to me, is a new title to be added to the short list of important contemporary plays.”

—John Lahr, The New Yorker

In this powerful adaption, Neil LaBute embraces the glittering darkness of Woyzeck’s violent, erotic, inhumane world and uncompromisingly makes it his own. From his opening in an operating theatre and then scene by macabre scene, LaBute imbues this classic with his singular intensity and moral vision, as he takes it to its nightmarish conclusion.

Included in this volume is Neil LaBute’s provocative new monologue “Kandahar,” in which a soldier back from Afghanistan calmly explains his devastating actions of the day before. A gripping stand-alone piece, this short work is also a trenchant modern-day exploration of the potent and enduring themes of Woyzeck.

Set on Long Island just before the 1929 stock market crash and featuring one of theater’s most commanding female characters, Neil LaBute’s electrifying new adaptation of Strindberg’s Miss Julie captures the timeless consequences of power, sex, and manipulation as servant and mistress of the house face off in a gripping night-long encounter. Commissioned for the 2012-13 season by the Geffen Playhouse.

“[Strindberg] has much to tell us of value … LaBute, as his distant descendant, understands this.”
