Directed by Tom Amici
Sharing the same bill with The Unseen Hand, Sam Shepard's Forensic and the Navigators is set in the post-apocalyptic future, where two rebellious men attempt to liberate an asylum run by a vicious opposing faction. As the story plays out, we discover the two sides may not be so different in their thinking. First performed in 1967, many parallels in this piece can be drawn to present-day conflicts, with both funny and disturbing results.
The Unseen Hand by Mr. Shepard is a haunting protest against the dehumanizing tendencies of modern societies and a powerful affirmation of the human spirit. The play moves after the "revolution" in a surrealistic and Kafkaesque world. Nogoland is the area ruled absolutely in which three brothers, old style "desperadoes" from the Wild West have been summoned out of the 19th century by the single individual who is trying to throw off the yoke of his inhuman oppressors. |
