The Thing

"there was only one show this year that I saw and then immediately made plans to see again...a kaleidoscopic, constantly changing vocabulary of words and gestures; and heartbreaking scenes of visual beauty and the kind of honesty you just can't achieve with a conventional script...it burned awkwardness like jet fuel..."
-Jay Gabler, Twin Cities Daily Planet
