«A quietly devastating play… Both a perceptive drama depicting the sudden fraying of a young marriage and a nail-biting psychological thriller… Belleville is among the most suspenseful plays I've seen in years.» – Charles Isherwood, New York Times“Masterly… Among the new crop of young American playwrights, Herzog is in a class by herself.” – Richard Zoglin, TimeAbby and Zack, young American newlyweds, have abandoned a comfortable postgraduate life in the states for Belleville, a bustling, bohemian, multicultural Parisian neighborhood.

Belleville examines the limits of trust and dependency in a world where love can turn pathological and our most intimate relationships may not be what they seem.AMY HERZOG’s plays include 4,000 Miles (Pulitzer Prize finalist), After the Revolution and The Great God Pan. Ms. Herzog is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Whiting Writers’ Award, an Obie Award and the Helen Merrill Award for Aspiring Playwrights.
