Playwright Neil LaBute, 'Wrecks'
NPR: "Playwright and filmmaker Neil LaBute has earned a reputation for writing characters who are selfish, mean, misanthropic and misogynistic. His films include In the Company of Men and Your Friends & Neighbors. His plays include 'The Mercy Seat', 'Some Girls' and 'Fat Pig'. The New Yorker's John Lahr says his plays are 'complex and unnerving,' and that 'there's no playwright on the planet who is writing better.' 'Wrecks' is LaBute's new one-man play starring Ed Harris. It opened last night at the Public Theatre in New York."

So this play is supposed to be one of the best out right now. I have read numerous reviews that praise Ed Harris in the part. I personally think that LaBute's writting is fantastic and that he embraces the human condition very well in his work. Some of his best, I would have to say, would be "The Shape of Things" and "Fat Pig".
