An audacious and dark comedy about a ten-year reunion of a son's high school graduation that coincides with the one-year anniversary of the next-door neighbor's death. About the playwright: Perhaps the city's closest equivalent to a young [David] Mamet. -Chris Jones, The Chicago Tribune One of the most prolific, intelligent, and innovative playwrights to write in Chicago in years, maybe decades. -Jack Helbig, PerformInk The bard of midwestern angst. -Lucia Mauro, Chicago Magazine Make no mistake. This is an author worth watching, and listening to. -Michael Phillips, The Chicago Tribune About the play: Nobody can accuse Brett Neveu's likable dark comedy THE LAST BARBECUE of being talky. Most of the time its five characters speak in short, seemingly innocuous sentences ... They seem largely ill at ease with one another. And it's amazing how much they convey. -Anita Gates, The New York Times Chicago playwright Brett Neveu understands the importance of silence: THE LAST BARBECUE contains some of the most beautiful, pregnant, well-orchestrated silences this side of Harold Pinter. And like Pinter's pauses, Neveu's contain a universe of unexpressed feeling, of half-hidden resentments and regrets. -Jack Helbig, Chicago Reader
