David Lindsay-Abaire's recent projects include the book for the musical "High Fidelity", and the book and lyrics for Shrek the Musical". Lindsay-Abaire has said "My plays tend to be peopled with outsiders in search of clarity." His characters often walk a fine line between grave reality and joyous lunacy. The world of his plays is often dark, funny, blithe, enigmatic, hopeful, ironic, and somewhat cockeyed. Lindsay-Abaire also has writing credit on two screenplays, "Robots" (2005) and "Inkheart" (2007).
