"No American playwright has written more compellingly about the subtle ways in which people inflict pain on each other than Neil LaBute. With The Distance from Here, he has written his most riveting play yet, an intense look at the dark side of American suburbia.".
"With little to occupy their time other than finding a decent place to hang out - the zoo, the mall, the school parking lot - Darrell and Tim are two American teenagers who lack direction and purpose in their lives. When Darrell's suspicion about the infidelity of his girlfriend is confirmed, and Tim comes to her defense, there is nothing to brake their momentum as all three speed toward disaster."--BOOK JACKET.
