To win a bet with his ex-wife's fiancee, the disdainful poet Henry enters a play writing contest in this comic lampoon of the contemporary theatre. Henry discovers the disaster of success as he becomes everything he once condemned. A brilliant, darkly comic exploration of the "creative process" and modern culture.
Read this years ago and generally would re-read to see if it's something we could consider performing, but here are my notes from then: Loud sex (optional). Lots of talk about art v. plays v. poems. Giant worm emerges from poet! Downward dog -- everybody! No good female parts. Weird. Hard to understand. So needless to say, will not re-read and will continue giving it a hard pass.
