Description

Elevator Repair Service’s lovingly crafted, utterly original new piece—adapted from the first chapter of William Faulkner’s 1929 novel—is a stunning act of choreographed literary transmutation that retains a humble, goofy sense of humor in its deep reading of a dense modernist masterwork. The 75-page text, rendered verbatim by a versatile cast of 12, is a daunting mass of nonlinear, impressionist writing. Of course it’s difficult to follow; placing the audience in the same position as the “idiot” child narrator Benjy is part of the point. But for all of director John Collins and his company’s deliberate obfuscations, there are moments of shocking clarity that break your heart.—DC
