	Howard Barker
		Howard Barker's plays are known for their fearless exploration of power, sexuality and human motivation.
		Barker's texts are constructed on the premise that theatre is a necessity in society, a place for imagination and moral speculation, not constrained by the demands of realism or any ideology.
		In Barker's work, no attempt is made to satisfy any demand for clarity or the deceptive simplicity of a single 'message'; each performance is like a public challenge in which actors and audience are inspired to find meaning and resonance from a multiplicity of interpretations.

		Wounds to the Face, Howard Barker’s vignettes exploring the illusion of beauty, should be unsettling and disturbing.
		Barker’s provocative play explores the near-pathological ways in which personal appearance defines who we are, principally through the recurring character of a plastic surgeon (Keri-Anne Telford), the "critic of God." But subpar characterizations and faulty direction render this intriguing material mostly incomprehensible and dull.
		One of Barker's most effective tales, "He Saw Himself Offically," is a perceptive, politically charged version of "The Emperor's New Clothes." The Emperor (played by Hearn), evaluating a new portrait of himself by his court painter (Jesse Miller), decides that the likeness is too unflattering to be displayed.

	Playwright Michael Bettencourt - Howard Barker's "Theatre of Catastrophe"
		Barker's theory of a catastrophic theatre first has to be seen against what he believes is the state of contemporary theatre, which he variously labels as "populist" or "humanist" or "liberal":
		Instead, I think Barker means "pain" in a transformative sense, the pain that might be felt when an old skin exfoliates and the nerves of the newly exposed skin burn in the barrage of heretofore denied or dulled sensations (what Barker called the "wound").
		The catastrophe that Barker wants to spark, the "wound" he wants to inflict, is like the violence of a volcanic explosion: the ripping apart of the existing topography creating new soils, a dying that also brings life back to life.

	Playwright Michael Bettencourt - Howard Barker Strikes Again
		The books is a little difficult to summarize because Barker writes it as a series of aperçus rather than an extended argument, but he makes a primary distinction between the theatre, which Barker links with congeniality, and the art of theatre, which he links with tragedy.
		Tragedy is synonymous with death, but not death as the enemy or spoiler of life because "life," to Barker, as it was to Ecclesiastes, is a vale of misery that cannot be escaped, and death offers release from, not betrayal of, life.
		Barker is not a warm writer; his aesthetic is astringent.

		For me as a playwright, I've got a somewhat different project myself (to extend Beckett's tragedy of consciousness to the tragedy of Eros, working in the aesthetics of distillation rather than expansion), but he continues to provocatively find new avenues of discovery: avenues that most American (or British) playwrights are finding it difficult to explore.
