Provocative haunting and deeply personal they are necessary reading for anyone with a serious interest in contemporary theatre the avant-garde and surrealism. QUOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: As a writer I attempt to delve beyond external reality and touch something deep within myself. I want to express a human beings inner reality in a completely honest and uninhibited manor with all of its brutality and all of its innocence; all of its darkness and all of its beauty. To create an analogy a couple of years ago I spent some time in the Amazon jungle. I found the jungle and Nature itself completely free. At times its chaos was overwhelming filled with a violent ferocity. But it was also pure almost innocent and incredibly moving. This is how I view the imagination as well and what I strive to capture with my writing and creative projects.
