“In Howard Katz, Patrick Marber skillfully recaptures the essence of one man’s cosmic struggle. . . . A dream-play, a nightmare-play, a sad-funny life and death play. A must.” –Sunday Times (London)
Patrick Marber’s Howard Katz has been hailed as “a gripping piece of work” (Sunday Telegraph). This haunting play is centered on its title character, a hard-as-nails talent agent now down on his luck. Marber traces the story of the mighty Katz through almost dreamlike flashbacks, capturing a man in free fall, while he determinedly clings to life. Marber’s tale is a universal one about the search for faith and the power of love to touch even the most hardened soul.
“Howard Katz is one of the most fascinating, relevant, and thoughtful plays to hit London in recent years.” –Time
