When a young lawyer from Texas invites a literary agent for lunch in a New York City restaurant, more than a production is on the table. \"The gentlemanly playwright A R Gurney casually tosses his own metaphorical shoe ... in the direction of our departing president in his latest politically minded play, A LIGHT LUNCH. Mr Gurney take[s] jovial, self-deprecating jabs at his own foibles, and the follies of the theater business too.\" -Charles Isherwood, New York Times \"A R Gurney's jokey new play, A LIGHT LUNCH, is refreshingly unlike most contempo American political theater. Plenty of laughs, and no shortage of fun moments between the performers. It's a \"Lunch\" worth chewing over!\" -Variety \"Gurney has fun mocking theatrical conventions ...\" -Backstage \"A R Gurney's tasty new play ... A LIGHT LUNCH, his latest work about our soon-to-be ex-President, is a model of political theater. The beauty of it is that its politics and its theater could not be more inextricably bound. Exquisitely self-aware, A LIGHT LUNCH uses the theater - and self-deprecating comments about A R Gurney himself - to make serio-comic points about George Bush throughout the play ... The emphasis of the production ... is on the text of Gurney's play, which is where the focus rightly belongs.\" -Barbara \u0026amp; Scott Siegel, TheaterMania.com\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadway Play Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46883976970391,"sku":"9780881454383","price":1458.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780881454383.webp?v=1770241504","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-light-lunch-9780881454383","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
