Preview — Boys' Life and Other Plays by Howard Korder

An acerbically funny portrait of 1980s male behavior, it tracks three young urbanites on the make through their nights and days. Howard Kissel of the New York Daily News proclaimed it 'utterly...more

This is soooooo boring! Lack of tension, lack of drama, lack of plot, lack of substance.
When you read something or watch something you hope to take something away from it. You learn something or feel something. That is not present for me, here. These plays are so pointless. What was the point? The only play worth reading is Boy's Life. The rest are actual literal trash. I regret ever picking this up.
I read Boys' Live, but not the other plays. I thought the play did not the relationships of the three men to the women they were connected with as well as it could have. You got snippets, but it left me wanting more.

Some vulger speech but in the end you feel like the characters may have actually learned that sex should not be taken so lightly

This is outdated material that does not extend beyond the 1980s.

I’m not quite sure why this play about slackers is called a comedy. Similar to its fellow 1988 Pulitzer nominee, Talk Radio, Boys’ Life is thin on plot and thick on the celebration of narcissistic assholes and the modern man-child.
With its series of brief sketches that bear a strong resemblance to modern webisodes and over-the-top gender roles of loser men and the pulled-together women who put up with them, Boys’ Life feels more timely today than when it originally premiered. Or perhaps things h...more
entertaining and well formed
A good play, partially trying to explain and partially trying to pardon guys being jerks. A good play that I wanted to hate, but still loved!
