		Among Guare's other plays are Landscape of the Body (1977); a trilogy dealing with a 19th-century Nantucket family : Lydie Breeze (1982), Gardenia (1982), and Women and Water (1990) : and Lake Hollywood (1999).

		Guare stands out among his contemporaries for his intricately plot-driven playwriting, filled with both the major reversals and the little ironic surprises—so common in Chekhov—that force characters incessantly to reevaluate their situations.
		John Guare’s development as a playwright spans the heady experimentation of the late 1960s to the more sober and self-reflexive drama of the 1980s.
		Guare’s protagonists are essentially neurotic, desperately in search of an identity and a sense of dignity in a vicious, ruthless, corrupt society—a morally and spiritually bankrupt world.

	village voice > theater > A Few Stout Individuals by John Guare; Long Island Sound by Noël Coward by Michael Feingold
		John Guare's A Few Stout Individuals is precisely the kind of good new play that you might call an everyday miracle.
		Guare's description of this insensate battle, given to Harrison, is the most chillingly great speech to be heard on the American stage right now, and Charles Brown's speaking of it, without a single missed detail or an ounce of overplaying, is a model of eloquence that would make Demosthenes spit pebbles in envy.
		Guare has Shaw's trick of puncturing empty pieties with a single blunt remark, of seeing a dilemma from both sides, of sweeping away malicious specifics in a general tide of compassion.

	A Few Stout Individuals - John Guare
		Guare sets a scene in which the writing of anything coherent -- much less the two volumes Clemens needs -- looks impossible.
		The material is factual, but Guare moves too close to farce with the continuing flow of people with demands, requests, and ideas -- including ne'er-do-well son Buck, who was responsible for Grant's financial ruin.
		American author John Guare was born in 1938.

	'The House of Blue Leaves' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Bunny is the most explicit about the virtue of celebrities and the most dismissive of mere mortals; to the ever anguished Bananas she declares, "You're a nobody, and you suffer like a nobody." Ronnie delights at the idea that assassinating the Pope could get him scads of media interviews.
		That set piece is Guare's funniest scene: Einhorn had been searching the country for the perfect Huck Finn, and Ronnie's impromptu, unsought audition is a tour de farce of the sort of ill-fated self-deception that afflicts just about everyone here.
		Its impact is timeless, as is Guare's fascination with the ways people manage to reconstruct some self-respect in the face of life's daily humiliations.

		I mean, I could pick up a John Guare script and know who John Guare is. And I think even a writer who is not so idiosyncratic, like Katherine Anne Porter, has an inescapable voice.
		GUARE: There was a play of Horton’s called A Young Lady of Property, that I saw on television in 1952 or ’53.
		GUARE: But I think the lesson of Horton is, you are one of the few writers I know who straddles the world of movies and theater without any loss of integrity.

		Guare has succeeded in synthesizing both scripts into a high voltage version, which crackles with all the quick fire wit of both sources.
		The timing and precision of the large cast is a constant joy as are the twists and turns of the plot which they set up and the razor sharp wit which they deliver.
		The resulting sexual frisson between Burns and Hildy is at the center of Guare’s version as in the movie, adding another dimension to the original play and its two main roles.

	Six Degrees of Separation Summary & Essays - John Guare
		The heart of John Guare's Six Degrees of Separation can be summed up in a few sentences that Ouisa Kittredge directs at the audience: "I read somewhere that everybody on this planet is separated by only six other people.
		Guare based the premise of his play on an actual incident—a young African-American man gained access to the homes of upper-class New Yorkers by pretending to be the son of actor Sidney Poitier—but the creation of the play is an imaginative tour de force.
		Guare uses the props of the late twentieth century, such as social issues and art, to create a comprehensive picture of a fragmented society, one in which those simple six degrees that bind people together are overlooked, blatantly ignored, and, very occasionally, celebrated.
