The Collected Plays of Paul Rudnick

His wit and alacrity with language prevail in these written versions of his plays. I wanted to see them because so many great lines, phrases and jokes go by at lightening speed when i've seen (only some of them) performed. I have to say, an actor's delivery brings it so much more to life, but still i've enjoyed revisiting his plots and writing.

I'm in the process of reading the first play, and it is well written and very amusing. I'm happy with this purchase.

Accurately described. Prompt service.

Worth buying for JEFFREY and VALHALLA, two very good plays and they're about something more than Rudnick's abundant wit. The others are wafer thin plots that just join one jokey gay bit to the next. The jokes are often good but, reading this whole collection, you're left with the bad taste of cleverness for its own sake. It's a shame Rudnick never challenged himself and just settled for writing about gay men as teenage girls. Like most of these plays, teenage girls can be initially funny and charming but you soon long for adult company.

Who but Paul Rudnick can write the perfect gem of a play - and do it multiple times over multiple years, catching the zeitgeist perfectly each time? Wish there was a way to condense these into a night of Paul Rudnick's work over the decades.

This is a great collection! I was also impressed by the seller. The item was just as described and came to me right on time. Thank you so much.

It wasn't my type of story

Didn't know anything about this man before buying this collection, which came highly recommended. What a disappointment !

Basically this is a very well put together collection of the best of Paul Rudnick. The plays are easy to read and are very enjoyable. I highly recommend.

Pleased with this purchase!
