Recenzii

Dan OBrien is a playwright-poet who, like a mash-up of Seamus Heaney and Dashiel Hammett, puts the audience in the middle of an unfolding mystery promising both revelation and terror, and delivering an equal measure of both.
I run to Dan OBrien plays. With absolute honesty and a poets language, play by play, Dan is laying bare the human heartoften his owntrying to understand the hearts homelessness. With relentless courage, wonderful black humor and intricate narrative, Dan gets us where we most desire to gointimacy. Dans life is proving to be our roadmap home.
The Body of an American is a marvel in elegant construction. A story full of unexpected twists and turns, it captures the nightmare of war and our attempts to comprehend it via a mass media designed to both condemn and celebrate violence. Dan OBrien has written a brilliant gem of a play.
