Hurlyburly / Those the River Keeps by David Rabe

Nominated for the Tony Award when it was first produced in 1984, Hurlyburly was immediately hailed as a classic American drama. This edition is the definitive version of the prize-winning author's most celebrated work, reflecting his continued exploration of the play through several productions-in particular the one he directed in 1988 at the Westwood Playhouse in Los Angeles-and his latest thoughts regarding the text.

Now prize-winning playwright David Rabe has matched and deepened it with Those the River Keeps, an intense psychological exploration of Hurlyburly's most dangerous and enigmatic character. This edition contains the definitive versions of these works, a foreword in which Rabe examines the interwoven relationship of the plays, and an afterword in which he discusses the process of their construction.

The Obie Awards, Variety, the Drama Desk Awards, the New York Drama Critics' Society, and the Outer Critics' Circle have all praised David Rabe's play. He graduated from Loras College with a BA and Villanova University's Graduate School of Theatre with an MA. He started out as a journalist and has since created several screenplays. He is a Connecticut resident.
