THE STORY: For unspecified crimes against a futuristic collective state, Glutt, a onetime poet, revolutionary, woodsman and loner, has been imprisoned. Using an elaborate sound console for sense stimuli, he is obliged to work with memory “through his web of guilt,” settling upon a personal peace before his extermination. What follows is a soaring virtuoso exploration of Modern Man, ranging from explosively caustic to gently poignant ironies, and the ultimate realization by Glutt of his own complicity with the ways of the world that he abhors. A dazzling inventive banquet of passion and language, Elizabethan in stature, modern in spirit; something of a dramatic monument erected in memory of the Humanities. A command performances with strong humanizing impact.
“…has the power to fascinate, mainly because Schrock is a real writer, whose language cascades with an Elizabethan vitality.” —Minneapolis Tribune.
“…dazzling broadsides of imaginative, quirky, sardonically poetic and often moving language.” —Minneapolis Star.
