The Collected Plays of Paul Rudnick: Wickedly Funny and Cerebral Works from One of America's Great Humorists

“Paul Rudnick is a champion of truth (and love and great wicked humor) whom we ignore at our peril.” —David Sedaris, author of <em>Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day</em>, and <em>Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk</em><br /><br />This definitive collection of Paul Rudnick’s plays presents the pinnacle of theatrical hilarity from one of America’s great humorists. Popular for his wickedly funny novels, including <em>I’ll Take It </em>and <em>Social Disease</em>, comic screenplays like <em>In & Out </em>and <em>Addams Family Values</em>, and the Augusten Burroughs-like memoir <em>I Shudder</em>, Rudnick remains best known for his cerebral but side-splitting theatrical writing. With echoes of Neil Simon, Thornton Wilder, and Noel Coward, Rudnick plays like <em>I Hate Hamlet</em>, <em>Jeffrey</em>, and <em>The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told </em>are outstanding fixtures of America’s comedic canon. <br />
