Plots And Wrecks
About the wreck we dive into the hold. I am she: I am he. Whose drowned face sleeps with open eyes whose breasts still bear the stress whose silver, copper, vermeil cargo lies obscurely inside barrels half-wedged and left to rot we are the half-destroyed instruments that once held to a course the water-eaten log the fouled compass. We provide the largest property listings of land for sale, property auctions in London, repossessed & derelict property & property to renovate.
Wrecks is a one-man play by Neil LaBute, that was commissioned and produced by the Everyman Palace Theatre in Cork, Ireland. The play was a part of the city's Capital of Culture programme in 2005.[1]

Ed Harris starred in the Everyman Palace Theatre production and reprised his role as 'Edward Carr' Off-Broadway, with direction by LaBute. [3][1][4]

Plots And Wrecks Provence
Concept[edit]
The plot centers around a man, Edward Carr, coming to terms with the death of his wife, and the dark secret that brought them together.
Critical reception[edit]
Ben Brantley wrote in his review in The New York Times: 'The whole raison d’être of this slender, prickly tease of a monologue, which opened last night at the Public Theater with an expert performance by Ed Harris, is a last-minute revelation meant to induce gasps of both shock and admiration for its having been built so neatly.Whether you gasp or merely sigh wearily will depend on your familiarity with, and fondness for, the prolific Mr. LaBute’s bleak moral vision of humankind.'[4]
Awards and nominations[edit]
The Off-Broadway production received nominations: 2007 Lucille Lortel Award, Outstanding Solo Show; 2007 Outer Critics Circle Award, Outstanding Solo Performance (Ed Harris); and 2007 Drama Desk Award, Outstanding Solo Performance (Ed Harris).[3]
