Publisher's Synopsis
While rehearsing Oedipus, turbulent relationships between actors threaten to sabotage the production. As tensions grow stronger and hidden truths emerge, reality begins to emulate Oedipus in staggering ways.
Craig Lucas's play Small Tragedy is a remarkably funny, sharply articulated missive about tragedy in the contemporary world. It was first performed at Playwrights Horizons, Off-Broadway, in 2004.
Small Tragedy won the 2004 Obie Award for Best American Play.
