A tough-minded writer. Michael Kuchwara, The Washington Post
LaBute . . . continues to probe the fascinating dark side of individualism . . . [His] great gift is to live in and to chronicle that murky area of not-knowing, which mankind spends much of its waking life denying. John Lahr, The New Yorker
A playwright [with] an unparalleled ear for dialogue. Jacque Le Sourd, The Journal News
