"CLIVE" As retold by....

Have you ever noticed how often nonsense makes the most sense? Before you find a dozen contradictory examples, just think about it.

"Clive," based on Bertolt Brecht's "Baal," at The New Group through March 9th, is surreal and disjointed, spinning a coherent and emotionally satisfying tale of an unredemptive soul.

Jonathan Marc Sherman has retold, "stolen from," been "inspired by," Brecht, in creating "A play in 21 shards" as directed by and starring Ethan Hawke, with alot of help from a marvelous cast of 9 (including Jonathan Marc Sherman, Brooks Ashmanskas, and Vincent D'Onofrio.)
