"There's an irresistible joy to reading these plays...examining them at leisure without the urgent propulsive forward movement of the theater, reveals beauties and resonances uniquely literary." -Oskar Eustis, Artistic Director, The Public Theater, from his foreword
Plays for The Public includes:
The Gods Are Pounding My Head! (AKA Lumberjack Messiah)
Idiot Savant
Old-Fashioned Prostitutes
This volume features the two plays sumptuously produced at The Public Theater in New York City that mark the culmination of Richard Foreman's unstintingly inventive, astonishing career in theater, just as he was beginning to devote his creative energies entirely to filmmaking.
