In these and other monologues, selected from over two decades of work, award-winning American playwright Dan O’Brien illuminates, in heartbreaking and unwavering fashion, the humanity of lost souls longing to be heard.

New York Times (Critics’ Pick) on The Body of an American "A masterpiece of truthfulness and feeling" The Guardian on War Reporter "utterly riveting…frequently exhilarating" The Washington Post on The Body of an American
