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.

“LaBute’s view of modern men and women is unsparing … He is holding up a pitiless mirror to ourselves.”

—Jacques le Sourd, The Journal News

Neil LaBute burst onto the American theater scene in 1999 with the premiere of bash at NYC’s Douglas Fairbanks Theater. These three provocative one-act plays, which examine the complexities of evil in everyday life, thrillingly exhibit LaBute’s signature raw lyrical intensity. In Medea Redux, a woman tells of her complex and ultimately tragic relationship with her grade school English teacher; in Iphigenia in Orem, a Utah businessman confides in a stranger in a Las Vegas hotel room, confessing a most chilling crime; and in A Gaggle of Saints, a young Mormon couple separately recounts the violent events of an anniversary weekend in New York City.

“Mr. LaBute shows not only a merciless ear for contemporary speech but also a poet’s sense of recurring, slyly graduated imagery … darkly engrossing.”

—Ben Brantley, The New York Times

With little to occupy their time other than finding a decent place to hang out—the zoo, the mall, the school parking lot—Darrell and Tim are two American teenagers who lack any direction or purpose in their lives. When Darrell’s suspicion about the faithlessness of his girlfriend is confirmed and Tim comes to her defense, there is nothing to brake their momentum as all three speed toward disaster.

“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
