Theater Review: ‘Bughouse’ – John Kelly is Henry Darger in Martha Clarke’s Gorgeous Production
From: Blogcritics | Date: 3/30/2026
An unknown for almost his whole life, the incredible outsider artist and epic novelist Henry Darger (1892-1973) comes alive at the Vineyard Theatre in the multimedia work Bughouse. Adapted from Darger’s writings, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Beth Henley’s 70-minute play enthralls. With direction by Drama Desk and Obie Award winner Martha Clarke and sharp conceptualizations of Darger’s life and work, it is some of Clarke’s finest work.
