Ode to Joy
Paperback £14.99
A sensitive drama about the interplay between illness, addiction and love, from the acclaimed American playwright Craig Lucas.
Adele is a painter and an addict. Through her eyes, we meet her two lovers, Mala and Bill, and follow her destructive relationships over the course of fourteen years.
Craig Lucas's play Ode to Joy was first staged at Cherry Lane Theatre, New York, in 2014.
'Pretty much irresistible... The author of great, toxic fairy tales for grown-ups, Mr. Lucas here suspends the storybook whimsy to give us a more straightforward look at people battling with the ogres of contemporary life through alcohol, drugs and sex.'
