World Premiere
King Richard
| USA | 20 MINUTES | English
This portrait of New York avant-garde playwright Richard Foreman focuses on all periphery elements of a recent production-elaborate set design, lighting, non-speaking cast's frantic movements patterns, and recurrent imagery at his Ontological-Hysteric Theater. Highlights all the fringe, yet essential, specifics typical of Foremen's recent work rather than the varying content of his plays.
