Brooklyn Boy

A novelist finally has a success with his autobiographical novel, but just as his career takes off his marriage, his friendships and his father's health go into steep decline. Brooklyn Boy follows the career of the writer Eric Weiss, whose autobiographical novel becomes a bestseller while his personal life falls apart. His wife leaves him, his sick father is admitted to hospital, his childhood friend believes he has been betrayed. A funny and moving look at family, friendship and success: an intelligent, provoking play that reaches something private in everyone, and shows the American playwright's gift for reading the psychology of relationships.
