"can we talk about care in the theatre or does the industry's extractive apparatus - of artists and audiences - override caring?"

if only AFTER THE HUNT was abt Michael Stuhlbarg's character... he is in his own far more eccentric film

thanks for reading. absolutely much can be said abt the long and experimental. i was thinking of Wilson, Brook, Mnouchkine, FE, and more recently but it takes special sauce. i keep thinking tho of Churchill and Beckett, both understand compressed time razor sharp.

The older I get I see the shape of the play like a physical object. I don't need to see the whole shape at once but I need to feel like there's more discover, if that makes sense. A beginning then a shadow of a middle. If there's a shadow of a middle then I can get to the end.

when a show is designed to be an "endurance test for the audience" you know the ableism is speaking
