		Specifically, Lucas -- the author of such celebrated works as Prelude to A Kiss and Longtime Companion -- will be at Seattle's Intiman Theater overseeing one of the final previews of The Light in the Piazza, the highly anticipated new musical by Adam Guettel, for which he has written the book and is directing.
		In fact, Lucas admits he forgot all about the monologue -- which focuses on a woman whose life is falling apart and gets a bit carried away with road rage -- until he got a call from Circle East's Paul Knox asking for a contribution to the 17-day festival.
		Lucas plans to visit Parker at rehearsals when they begin next year, but he will definitely be leaving the reins to Brokaw.

		Craig Lucas has a successful revival currently on Broadway, a new play opening up in January in New Haven, and is also making some news as a gay American as well.
		Lucas is a prolific writer and performer and he has left a significant mark on the stage and screen with his plays including “Prelude to a Kiss” and The Dying Gaul”; and his screenplay for the film “Longtime Companion.”

		Craig Lucas is a leading playwright and scriptwriter.

		This inticate dance of plot echoes in Lucas' work is representative of his deep commitment to plot as a writer.

		For Lucas, who is Jewish and politically so far to the left that he used to be a Trotskyite, the Third Reich is a matter of personal interest.
		In the last two-and-a-half years, Lucas has found his birth mother and a passel of younger sisters — or, rather, the eldest of his sisters, who is 49, found him through the Internet.
		The similarities between Lucas and his sister, even down to their taste in men — his boyfriend, her husband — make a strong case for genetics in the battle of nature vs. nurture.

	Show Business Weekly: Review: This Thing of Darkness (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Craig Lucas is a capable director who, supported by John McDermott’s summer house set and Christopher Akerlind’s singular lighting, enhances only the good parts of the script.
		Lucas maintains a strict dance of blocking, for the most part–only in the second scene do the characters start to wander around aimlessly, and circle the centerpiece couch in a bad regional theater-type way.
		Lucas uses Coldplay songs to bookend the play; theirs is the rock of anesthetized regret, so it’s a wise choice, a moodsetter that presents the gorgeous first scene and almost-there third scene in sharp relief.

		Defending his creative rights against such criticism, Lucas has given notice that the popularity of some of his work would not "prevent (him) from writing other, perhaps even different, plays as time goes on," and that "the business of artists is to offer what they have seen and to imagine what they cannot truly know.
		Yet Lucas, for all his comic flair, clearly wants more than zany antics for the conflicted, struggling survivors of Singing Forest; and his ability to portray them with equal measures of affection, empathy, and irony is what keeps him at the forefront of contemporary American playwrights.
		In the twenty years since its first appearance in the West, AIDS has been the subject of a large body of literature, most of it written by gay men and much of it designed to expose readers as closely as possible to the emergency of the epidemic and the suffering of affected individuals.

		Unlike the play's hapless writer, Craig Lucas knows what he is unwilling to compromise, and so speaks exactly what he has to say.

		Born in Atlanta, Georgia on April 30, 1951, Lucas was abandoned that very day in the back seat of a car parked at a gas station.
		During the political, sexual, and creative ferment of the late 1960s and 1970s, Lucas was drawn to the political left and came to terms with his attraction to other men.

	Thrilling Thriller \| Theater \| The Stranger, Seattle's Only Newspaper
		Playwright Craig Lucas has been lucky in his film projects; his first produced screenplay was the well-received Longtime Companion, a movie that broke barriers in its open depiction of gay men.
		Lucas makes the lure and rewards of these new worlds palpable, drawing us into the characters' desires and actions.
		Lucas argues in an interview (excerpted in the program) that a certain level of preposterousness is simply intrinsic to both tragedy and thrillers, but tragedy and thrillers depend on different kinds of preposterousness, and therein lies a tension the play can't resolve.

		In the Tony glow of "Hairspray", with its day-glow colors and AM radio sensibility, it's a special pleasure to be given a musical as subtle and disciplined as a classical watercolor.
		Playwright and Director Craig Lucas holds tightly to the romantic heart of this story, adds his own wit and theatrical expertise, and retains the original's tone of romantic mystery.
		One of the great achievements of Lucas' script is the unstated thesis that love is the only true center around which life is built, and that one can only measure personal success in relation to that center.

		But Craig Lucas can't let his story rest so simply.

		This was true even of his screenplay for the landmark AIDS film Longtime Companion, directed by Norman Rene, who collaborated with Lucas on all of his plays and films until his untimely death in 1995.
		In recent years, Lucas’s writing has taken a darker turn, as if the playwright could no longer pretend not to be devastated by the losses of lovers and friends to AIDS.

		It's unfortunate that Lucas was so set on making this a thriller; some scenes in The Dying Gaul are startling and almost uncomfortably honest (Scott and Clarkson are excellent and Sarsgaard is outstanding), but they get swept aside by the brittle and uncompelling plot mechanics.

		During the production of Sweeney Todd, composer Stephen Sondheim happened to mention to chorus member Craig Lucas that he had lots of old songs -- the ones that never made it to the stage -- stored away.
		When Lucas was commissioned to put together a revue for The Production Company, he approached Sondheim for his best "trunk songs." With the authors' blessing, the revue was prepared by Lucas and Norman René and opened at the Production Company in October of 1980, later transferring to the Actor's Playhouse.
