Well, if you're a man, it's probably to get nervous and start calling up old girlfriends. And so begins a single man's odyssey through four hotel rooms as he flies across the country in search of the perfect woman (that he's already broken up with). \u003ci\u003eSome Girl(s)\u003c\/i\u003e is the latest work from Neil Labute, American theater's great agent provocateur. In grand LaBute fashion, this by turns outrageously funny and deadly serious portrait of the artist as a young seducer casts a truthful, hilarious light on a typical young American male as he wanders through the heart of darkness that is himself. This edition includes a deleted scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The most legitimately provocative and polarizing playwright at work today.” —\u003ci\u003eDavid Amsden, New York magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“[LaBute's] view of modern men and women is unsparing . . .
