In SINCE I CAN REMEMBER, our current company revisits NAYATT SCHOOL, a 1978 Wooster Group work that featured Spalding Gray's first monologue and a red tent.
Back then, The New York Times’ Richard Eder wrote about Nayatt School: “the tone varies from straightforward searching to brilliant absurdity.” And Mel Gussow, in a review titled “The Misadventures of an Actor,” called it “a savage assault on phonograph records.”
We've been working on Since I Can Remember by diving into our archives and using new material to re-animate what we find. We're thinking of this piece as the first in a series of Wooster Group theatrical histories that explore our previous pieces, how they were made, and how we work.
