Thursday I saw Richard Foreman's latest play, "The Gods Are Pounding My Head! (the Lumberjack Messiah)." If you've never seen a Richard Foreman play, you are missing out on the greatest living dramatist. No joke. He's almost indescribably adept at crafting pieces of theatre that keep an audience thinking. With so many plays around today that employ weak, easily-discerned metaphors and platitudes, Foreman's work exists as a thrilling puzzle that unfolds to greater complexity. Treat yourself, do yourself a favor and see his work!
Wow, did I really just write that? When did I get so uppity? Well, here's a picture of the Hamburglar to make up for it.
