Tonight and tomorrow are also your last chances to see The People—Portland, a large-scale spectacle based on the Oresteia, snippets of which last night prompted me to loudly make the intellectually dubious argument that “updating” classic theater is a bullshit waste of time. (That is what happens when you give gin to a theater critic.) Our reviewer actually saw the whole show, and he didn’t love it either.
Good Christ, that is vile. But I suppose no more vile then Hilton, Kardashians or reality TV. But I could not finish it.
That was pretty cool. Fuckin’ bizarre, but cool.
