Prehistoric Times Translator Alyson Waters Presents Readings, 9/27 & 10/8
by BWW News Desk - Sep 27, 2012


The narrator of Prehistoric Times might easily be taken for an inhabitant of Beckett's world: a dreamer who in his savage and deductive folly tries to modify reality. The writing, with its burlesque variations, accelerations, and ruptures, takes us into a frightening and jubilant delirium, where the message is in the medium and digression gets straight to the point. In an entirely original voice, Eric Chevillard asks looming and luminous questions about who we are, the path we've been traveling, and where we might be going-or not.
