A work of absolute authenticity - with beauty, dignity, gravity & sensuality...beautiful in its shivery delight & awed fear of tension & release."--Jack Kroll - Newsweek. "An extraordinary theatrical event...surely one of the most ambitious in recent history...magical, gorgeously erotic."--NY, Villiage Voice. JUSTINE. "One of the most horrific tales of human degradation in Western literature...fashioned into an extraordinary, beautiful theatrical experience."--Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. THE DYBBUK. "Brio, exaltation, pure & sinister passion exudes from this La Mama production of The Dybbuk, a production which satisfyingly plunges us way over our heads into the story by using a full range of modern devices & insights."--NY, Village Voice. SWELLFOOT'S TEARS. Katz's horrifying 20th-century version of the Oedipus myth.
