A playwright with talent, nerve and something to say... a finely tuned ear and eye for the hidden - and not always noble - calibrations of the human heart.-- Hollywood Reporter Letts is a keen observer of the way the past oozes into the present and future. And while each of his characters has a vivid identity, each also has a dozen richly contradictory aspects to his or her nature... The playwright also serves up some blackly comic laughs, too, just to clear the air from time to time.-- Chicago Sun-Times With his new play The Minutes, a simmering satire of a small-town city council meeting that evolves -- or devolves -- into something of a horror tale, Pulitzer-winning playwright Tracy Letts has written what is nearly certain to be the single work of art that best represents, but will also survive, the Trump era.-- Variety The Minutes will not be a play you forget quickly. -- Chicago Tribune
