I Can Relate



The video posted below is incredible.


An actor named Mike Daisey is performing a monologue at the American Repertory Theatre.


A Christian group, apparently unhappy with the bawdy, racy content and language, not only get up and leave, but they pour water on the actor's notes and desecrate his work space.


I have been performing a one-man show called, "Shylock," for over 11 years now. Before that, I used to perform a one-man show called "T.E., or Telling Everything."


It is wonderful to watch this young man in the video below react honestly and spontaneously to the outrageous, bad behaviour that is thrust upon him.


All of this was contributed to the blog by my friend, Bob Turner, who knows a thing or two about performance himself.
