Joy - Paperback

by John Fisher (Author)

A comedy with songs about students falling in and out of love. "Well-crafted and poignant. JOY is entertainment done with style!" -Variety "Positively giddy in its imaginative flourishes!" -New York Post "JOY takes audiences on an effervescently romantic ride!" -Backstage "Witty, wry, tightly constructed and surprisingly affecting! John Fisher has a flair for dialogue and a gift for narrative." -Associated Press "A sweet/sharp roundelay charting several students' tangled liaisons. More in tune with Noel Coward or Woody Allen (especially Manhattan) than recent Gen X studies, this precocious work suggests commercial instincts already honed well beyond strictly gay audience appeal ... Memorable lines zing out constantly; the fourth wall is frequently crashed. It credits Fisher's talent that these gambits seem fresh rather than forced. JOY's wit and charm shine brightly." -Dennis Harvey, Variety
