Re: hey, what's mac in RATdom?



One of the many things I respond to in Mac Wellman's work includes the
notion that the language of the play pushes a listener to take in
information in a dramatically different way than and film, television, and
most plays. "A different hole" through which the imagery and poetry of the
language enter  into my consciousness. A "hole" that has not been abused and
refined by the violence and meaningless of the other media.(my
eyes,mouth,ears) I can't watch a Wellman work the same way I can "End of
Days" with Schwartzeneger.A purer entry into my soul. And the freedom that I
don't have to comprehend every thought right away or in a linear and
immediate process. I let it go in and work it's own way.That's one of the
elements that really excite me.
