Wrecks and Other Plays

A haunting collection of one-act plays exploring the darker corners of the human heart.

This compelling volume brings together some of Neil LaBute’s most powerful short works, led by the titular play, Wrecks. In this gripping monologue, a man named Edward Carr reflects on his thirty-year marriage at his wife’s funeral—only to reveal a shocking secret that redefines everything the audience thought they knew about love and devotion.

Accompanied by several other short plays, this collection showcases LaBute’s signature sharp dialogue and his uncanny ability to expose the hidden cruelties and complexities of modern relationships.
