A big one. RIP, Robert Wilson. Responsible for many hours of mine spent at BAM over the years. Even when unsatisfying dramatically, always stunning and haunting to watch. A truly unique aesthetic, one that will forever be instantly identified as only his.

I'm proud to announce the publication of "Ben Hecht's Theatre of Jewish Protest" from @rutgersupress.bsky.social, available now. A critical study of Hecht's four dramatic works from the 1940s about the Holocaust and the struggle for a Jewish state, as those events were happening. 1/5
