COMMENTARY

The Fever Dream of Captain America
Michael Bettencourt
This bloody swamp of spite, whining, selfishness and social/economic injustice. Which might be tolerable if it didn't cause such injury to the body politic.

Something Has Happened
Arthur Meiselman
Something momentous has happened. It should have been shouted in large black type across the front page of the New York Times. It wasn't.

The Richness of What We Do
Nathan Thomas
A young man sits on a wooden bench 2,500 years ago and sees a king who rips out his own eyes at the horror of killing his own father and marrying his own mother.

The Man Who Wrote The Longest Novel
Les Marcott
He was an eccentric, a philanthropist, a businessman, temperamental, a complex man living in a simpler time, the "Streetwalker's Hamlet"

Claudine Jones

Mary Zimmerman sssssstrikes again with The White Snake at Ashland's Oregon Shakespeare Festival which also features plenty of Shakespeare but also commissioned world premieres, revivals and beautifully produced classic favorites.
Catherine Conway Honig

Whispering In Bed Iri Kopal I waited until it was dark, totally dark, no moon. Then I came home, to you, here.



The Stranger Arthur Meiselman There is a sadness that floats on the sea in the afternoon. It has always seemed that way to me.



Poems For The Chorus Of Rocks Griselda Steiner In "MARY M and THE MAD PROPHET" - that spans millennia from the Old World to the Biblical Time of Jesus to the Now - the Chorus of Rocks appear on stage as actors draped in white robes in the desert.
