Review: Today I received my package from Amazon in the mail, opened it, read "Take Me Out" from cover to cover, and then went back to the beginning and started reading it again. It's a story that I never want to forget.I saw "Take Me Out" in its Broadway version first and then later purchased the book. It astounds and delights in both formats, although I have to admit that I'm not sure if I would have enjoyed it less had I not already seen the play. But having seen it, reading the book is a great way to relive my favorite moments at the theater. Purchase this now. Whether you are a fan of baseball or of theater, you're bound to enjoy it.

Review: Wow! Read this (or better yet, see it) and marvel at the wonders of great playwriting. Dazzling writing + a great story = amazing theatre. The characters jump off the page. This is NOT a "gay play", but a story about choices, courage and consequences. Squeezed in there is a monologue on baseball that is destined to achieve classic status and would make anyone want to head out to the ballfield. Somehow all of the elements of this play just work, though I defy anyone to explain how, in simple terms. It doesn't seem complex, but it is. This is what great writing for the theatre is all about...still alive and well in the 21st century: smart, provocative, fun and moving! Thank you Richard Greenberg!
