<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In Fish in the Dark, Larry David stars as Norman Drexel, a man in his fifties who is average in most respects except for his hyperactive libido. As Norman and his family try to navigate the death of a loved one, old acquaintances and unsettled arguments resurface with unforseen consequences.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Fish in the Dark</i> is the astonishing playwriting debut by Larry David, the multiple Emmy-winning star of <i>Curb Your Enthusiasm</i> and co-creator of <i>Seinfeld</i>. This sidesplitting play, a testimony to David's great writing talent, is also his first time on Broadway--in fact, his first time acting on stage since eighth grade. In <i>Fish in the Dark</i> Larry David stars as Norman Drexel, a man in his fifties who is average in most respects except for his hyperactive libido. As Norman and his family try to navigate the death of a loved one, old acquaintances and unsettled arguments resurface with hilarious consequences. <p/><i>Fish in the Dark</i> has its world premiere at the Cort Theatre on Broadway on March 5, 2015, starring Larry David.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Forgive us: we're having difficulty curbing our enthusiasm about this."<b>--<i>Time</i></b> <p/>"Every word out of [Larry David's] mouth is funny . . . Instead of sticking to a conventionally constructed plot, this Fish swims from one comic situation to another."<b>--<i>Variety</i></b> <p/>"You don't need to be a fan of David's hit TV series to appreciate zingers, which come laced with cultural clichés . . . These are just people, often very obnoxious people, lurching through lives and oddball dilemmas."<b>&mdash<i>New York Daily News</i> (4 stars)</b> <p/>"[<i>Fish in the Dark</i>] is no four-person, politically correct, plotless amusement, like so many comedies today, but a large ensemble piece with eighteen speaking roles, a perfect second-act twist, and a solid last-minute kicker . . . David's humor is observational, questioning meaning and motives in the abstract."<b>--Vulture</b> <p/>"<i>Fish in the Dark</i> may be new but its comic ingredients are classically aged . . . A night of huge, rolling laughs."<b>--<i>Time Out</i> (4 stars)</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Larry David</b> is an award-winning comedian, actor, and writer, as well as the cocreator of <i>Seinfeld</i> and the creator, producer, writer, and star of <i>Curb Your Enthusiasm</i>. His other television credits include <i>Saturday Night Live</i> and <i>Fridays</i>. <i>Fish in the Dark</i> is his first play.<br>
