“One of the Ten Best Plays of the Year! ‘No longer merely promising, Jon Robin Baitz is now a major playwright.’” –Time Magazine
"Jon Robin Baitz is the American theatre's most fascinating playwright of conscience.Three Hotels packs an emotional punch that lingers."--Michael KuchwaraAssociated Press
Dazzling audiences with the linguistic artistry, keen insights and comprehensive vision ofThree Hotels, Jon Robin Baitz enhances his reputation as one of America’s most important playwrights. In three dramatic monologues that progress from intellectual cynicism to heartbreaking honesty, he reveals the emotional and physical wounds sustained by the foot soldiers of the conglomerates operating in Third World countries and, by extension, by all Americans adrift in the seas of international commerce and politics.
Also included are several shorter works (Four MonologuesCoq au VinIt Changes Every Year andRecipe for One, or A Handbook for Travelers), each of which, likeThree Hotels, “is the fervent prayer that there will be something in this wrecked world to salvage.”
Jon Robin Baitz is the author ofThe Film SocietyOther Desert CitiesThe End of the Day, andThe Substance of Fire, which he adapted into a major motion picture. He was the showrunner on ABC’sBrothers & Sisters. He also wrote the screenplay for the upcoming filmStonewall directed by Roland Emmerich. He lives in New York.
