new mark roberts play.

review in today's gazette by patricia stiller so sad. "Hey, I was there, man," she writes. twice.

maybe it is "a profound and intelligent tragi-comedy" and the greatest play of all time.

roberts himself is quoted in the daily illini weekly, the buzz, saying, "my kind of theater has danger. i like to feel like the theater can leap out at [the audience], grab their purse and take a big shit in it."

did george bernard shaw once say that? or am i thinking of august wilson? ashton kutcher?

i don't own a collective purse, certainly not one to be shit into (or should that be "shat"?), so i guess i'll wait for the broadway premiere before writing my own review. the title seems well chosen, though. i may not be able to say "i was there," but i might be able to boast, "i was too busy at the time."

in my hammock.
