I have been studying William Forsythe for a long time from the perspective of an architect. The last play I ahve seen was ‘Yes - We can’t’ and on my blog you can listen to my reaction to it. It is an extraordinary COMMUNICATIVE play.
Drop by and leave me your ideas about it http://www.blog.ar2com.de/william-forsythe/
