Benjamin Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Faces-- bunched pendulous pocked gargoyles grinning gremlins goblins withered witches circling sinking staring prying probing-- . Voices-- whispering seething maggot-like sarcastic mingling lisping belching rasping rankling piercing grumbling silence filching oddly shouting sleep disturbing thought obliterating all consuming cackling screaming voices-- . Hands-- emerging-- fingers pointing jabbing scratching groping grasping tearing .rapine hands--- . belonging to the faces who demand a soul. Quote

Benjamin Posted December 6, 2012 Author Posted December 6, 2012 I recall a brilliant performance by Billie Whitelaw in Samuel Beckit's “Not I” described as one of the most disturbing images in theatre: a disembodied mouth, telling its tale “at the speed of thought.” Amazing what sticks in the mind.

fdelano Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 Seemed a rant from someone ready to go off. Good person to keep some distance from--like maybe a different bar. Made me think of myself, at times. I like experimental work. Thanks. Paco Quote
