Altered Arthur

"I sometimes wonder if it's me that's being made love to. I feel like I'm being harpooned by some raging monk in the act of receiving God."  Emily Jessup, Altered States.

I saw Ken Russell’s adaptation of Paddy Chayefsky's novel in 1982 with a man who aspired to be Eddie Jessup.  I married him anyway.  When phillip andrew bennett low gets on

Hey hey -- just wanted to thank you for taking the time to write one of the more thoughtful reviews that I've received -- and much of which I find myself agreeing with. The danger of working with such dense language, and in such an expressionistic style, is that the writing can obscure the intent, and that was definitely a tightrope to walk with this one -- I'm still sort of stunned that audiences were as tolerant of it as they were. (I actually clocked myself at approximately 160 words per minute on this one. Yikes.)

Still -- back to work, and something to continue working on. Hope you had a good Fringe.
