		Wilson's highly stylized "theater of imagery" is characterized by a concern with spectacle, temporality, nonverbal communication, visual collage, architectural stagecraft, and idiosyncratic performers.

	August Wilson versus Robert Brustein

		I was in the audience for one of the sold-out performances of Einstein on the Beach, the opera by Philip Glass in collaboration with dramatist Robert Wilson.

	Philip Glass - Einstein on the Beach
		Robert Wilson's pre-theatrical background was in painting and architecture, and as The New York Times's John RockwelI has observed, "his stage works are massive, hypnotic theatrical pictures".
		Wilson's other works have included "A Letter to Queen Victoria", "The $ Value of Man", and the celebrated "Deafman's Glance", but his examinations of seminal twentieth century figures-Freud, Stalin, and Einstein-have seemed to cluster in a class by themselves.
		This non-didactic approach means that Wilson's staging, direction and design and Glass' music can fuse into a single experience, an experience in which structure and substance ore one and the same and the "picture" is completed by the listener/ viewer.

		But Porter had probably served a short apprenticeship as a dramatist, since we have record of a payment to him of £5 in December, 1596.
		It would, indeed, be hard to believe that he wrote The two angry women of Abington as his first piece of dramatic work.
		It is a comedy of such full-blooded gusto and such strength and decision of style that it lifts its author out of the ranks of lesser dramatists.

		Robert Dale Owen, afterwards a member of Congress where he introduced the bill establishing the Smithsonian Institute, and who later was Minister to Naples, held a newspaper debate with the Rev. Origen Bacherer, which was afterwards published in book form and had a large circulation.

		Wilson said, "I think any one who will candidly do as I have done, will come to the conclusion that he was a Deist and nothing more." Gouverneur Morris said he no more believed in the system of Christianity than Morris did himself.

	Stein Soup
		Valk sits center stage the entire time, poised between pillows and framed by metal poles, talking by turns neutrally, snidely and conspiratorially in a dewdrop Betty-Boop voice to a microphone outfitted with a viper's head, the viper speaking back to her in the hilarious, ventriloquist-dummy voice of John Collins.
		The problem, I think, is the blandness and sleepiness in her writing, rooted in her sing-songy nursery-rhyme cadences and simple reiterative vocabulary, which was always controversial and hasn't aged at all well in the info age.
		The deadliest equation, in my experience, is Stein paired with a director (such as Wilson) who tries to superimpose a differently faux-naive performance idiom and ends up with a mixture of two flavorless liquids.

	"The Sculptural Drama": Tennessee Williams's Plastic Theatre
		I have read criticism in which the use of transparencies and music and subtle lighting effects, which are often as meaningful as pages of dialogue, were dismissed as "cheap tricks and devices." Actually all of these plastic things are as valid instruments of expression in the theatre as words.
		There seems, however, to be a connection between the dramatist's plastic theatre and the notion of "plasticity" as defined by painter Hans Hofmann.
		Robert Edmond Jones, having studied and worked with Max Reinhardt in Europe, was a strong proponent of the New Stagecraft for the American theatre.

		Travel, with and without Wilson’s company, brought Galasso into contact with musicians of many cultures, and in the 1970s he became particularly fascinated by music of the middle east, for a time studying in Iran.
		These experiences provided a crucial impetus for his writing which has since explored a “melodic and rhythmical synthesis” in which his affinities with Baroque music are intertwined with his American heritage as well as with Iranian and Central Asian traditions.

	John Heartfield: Reviews
		The risk of this approach is perhaps loosing some of the audience (and critics) because a piece is too long or the action is not riveting at every single moment.
		But to me, it is worth this risk to put a dramatist's work up on the stage in a strong form-- a form that comes from the writer's intricate efforts and sweat to make a piece well-crafted and artistically satisfying.
		Unraveling a work at the last minute may make the story clearer and the evening shorter, but it often removes a layer of depth that is the art of the piece.

		The Women of Trachis and the Philoctetes are probably still, despite Ezra Pound's translation of the one and Edmund Wilson's essay on the other, among the plays of Sophocles least familiar to the modern reader.
		Yet though their fame is, and always has been, overshadowed by the Oedipus tragedies and the Antigone, these are in no sense minor works: they are fully achieved masterpieces, as richly subtle and rewarding, both on the printed page and in the theater, as the more celebrated Theban plays.
		Edmund Wilson's title essay in The Wound and the Bow (Boston, 1941) is a classic, though more concerned with the implications of the myth than with the play itself.

		Waits' ravaged voice surrendered all pretensions to melody ages ago; his throat is now pure theater, a weapon of pictorial emphasis and raw honesty.
		Appropriately, Alice and Blood Money feature songs written by Waits and his wife, Kathleen Brennan, for a pair of stage collaborations with dramatist Robert Wilson: 1992's Alice, based on the sexual obsessions of the Victorian author Lewis Carroll, and 2000's Woyzeck, adapted from the nineteenth-century German play about a soldier driven to lunacy and murder.
		This is fertile darkness for Waits, who excels at putting a human face on the bizarre and finding redemptive cheer in flophouse woe.

		It attempts to show how the best way this can be understood is through the developments in the world of theater and how the theater functions as an artifact and a metaphor of the times.
		Wilson notes that the theater buildings had a character "all their own" (Wilson 279).
