Plays for the Public - by Richard Foreman

In his five decades of work in theatre, Richard Foreman has become known as the figurehead of the “downtown” scene, the king of all things experimental and unconventional. This brand new anthology is a tribute to his mammoth acclaim, including such memorable works as The Gods are Pounding My Head, Idiot Savant, and Old-Fashioned Prostitutes.

Richard Foreman is an avant-garde theatre pioneer and founder of the Ontological-Hysteric Theater. He has written several dozen works for the stage, opera, film, and television, as well as books on theatre craft. His honors include a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Literature Award from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, and a Lifetime Achievement Fellowship from the NEA.
