Richard Dresser’s plays are widely produced regionally, in New York, and in Europe. Off-Broadway plays include Rounding Third, Below the Belt, Gun-Shy, and Better Days. Other plays: Along at the Beach, The Downside, Something in the Air, and Wonderful World. His new trilogy about happiness in America, with each play set in a different social class, includes: Augusta (working class), The Pursuit of Happiness (middle class) and A View of the Harbor (upper class). He also wrote the book for the Broadway musical Good Vibrations and the screenplay for Human Error, which premiered at the Sundance Film festival. His television credits as writer/producer include HBO'S Vietnam War Stories, The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd (with Blair Brown), The Job (with Denis Leary), as well as Bakersfield P.D. and Keen Eddie (both for Fox).
