    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Can someone honestly love a person whom they have deceived for thirty years? This is the central question behind <em>Wrecks</em>, Neil LaBute&#8217;s latest foray into the dark side of human nature. Meet Edward Carr: loving father, successful businessman, grieving widower. In this concise powerhouse of a play, LaBute limns the boundaries of love, exploring the limits of what society will accept versus what the heart will desire. This collection also features rarely staged short plays, including &#8220;Liars&#8217; Club,&#8221; &#8220;Coax,&#8221; and the never-before-seen &#8220;Falling in Like.&#8221;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[The main play, <em>Wrecks</em>, is clever in that dark Neil LaBute way. I'm proud to say that the twist began dawning on me a few pages before the ultimate reveal, and I was appropriately horrified and thrilled at the same time.<br/><br/>The rest of the plays, mostly one-offs involving one or two character...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38392537">more...</a>]]></body>
