A propos du livre

Revue de presse

When it comes to reminding us just why we leave our homes on a cold winter's night and seek the special joys of a live theatrical performance, playwright Stephen Belber has the big guys beat. The acerbic dialogue places Tape in the tradition of Sam Shepard and David Mamet. --Wall Street Journal

A taut, hilarious thriller - as unsettling as it is entertaining. --Time Out New York

Tape is a very high quality drama that brings to mind the work of Neil Labute and Kenneth Lonergan...An excellent fast-moving play that combines moral debate and contemporary social commentary with wicked humour. --British Theatre Guide
