FOREMAN, Richard
No Title

Richard Foreman (1937–2025) was a primary catalyst in the vital downtown NY theater scene that emerged in the 1960s. He wrote and directed more than forty verbally and visually singular productions with his Ontological-Hysteric Theater company in a career that spanned forty-five years. While Foreman published many of his scripts in his lifetime, Richard Foreman: No Title is a text unlike anything preceding it. Handwritten on a series of note cards, these aphoristic declarations and philosophical asides hover between being a stream of consciousness dialogue and a message sent from another world. Foreman’s wonderfully elliptical words are counterposed with photographs of the mystifying diorama-like maquettes that he created while staging a number of his plays. [publisher's note]
