A Moment on the Clock of the World

"""These stunning essays, interviews, incantations, manifestations are by the best radical thinkers in the U.S. A.  This collection is a manifesto filled with bold ideas, magic and poetry, a living record of the best of what is still called the ‘un-American tradition’ in theater.  This is political and creative courage at its best and the voices inside this work are not only subversive but reach to the very root of why we make theater, why we keep coming back.  Best of all, this book wrenches apart neo-liberal notions of what ‘resistance’ truly is, and redefines and recontructs them from the root up.   And the root is the only place where the radical still lives.  And there also lives The Foundry theater."" —Naomi Wallace ""The Foundry Theatre is the great exemplar of artistic excellence, political courage, and visionary hope of American theatre in the late 20th and early 21st centuries."" —Cornel West, (from the Foreword) ""The Foundry Theatre has quietly been responsible for some of the most artistically ambitious work seen in New York in recent years."" —The New York Times ""The Foundry has a long history of pushing plays beyond the boundaries of traditional theatre in terms of form, content, and location."" —Time Out  ""The Foundry Theatre has excellent vision.  [They] have championed remarkable theatremakers who challenge what we consider a play.""  —Village Voice ""The Foundry has long had the passion for mixing artistic rigor with social activism."" —The Brooklyn Rail ""Since 1994, The Foundry Theatre has been a mainstay in the downtown theatre scene."" —The New York Times  "
