(1962), ''A Delicate Balance (play), A Delicate Balance'' (1966), and ''Three Tall Women'' (1994).

His middle period comprised plays that explored the psychology of maturing, marriage and sexual relationships. Younger American playwr ...

The Blue Eyes
''The Blue Eyes'' is a 2013 musical score by Australian composer J. G. Thirlwell for the film of the same name, written and directed by Eva Aridjis.

The score marks a musical departure for Thirlwell, exhibiting a more sombre tone compared to his previous soundtrack work for ''The Venture Bros.''

In writing for ''The Wire'', Clive Bell felt that while the music was at times effectively terrifying, it too often felt recycled and lacking in originality. Marc Masters of Pitchfork Media gave the album 6.2 out of 10, describing the score as typical and concluding that it "is too conventionally filmic to provide a full experience by itself. It feels more in service of someone else's images than capable of inspiring them on its own." Track listing Personnel ;Musicians *Isabel Castelvi – cello * James Ilgenfritz – contrabass * ...
