NIGHT JUST BEFORE THE FOREST

 


Lazaros Theodorakopoulos is a young Greek man living in New York. He is touring with a most unusual play, a nearly hour-long rapid fire monologue. It’s called Night Just Before The Forest, written by Bernard-Marie Koltes. He is said to be a successor to Samuel Beckett, Jean Cocteau and Jean Genet. The unnamed character is homeless, unemployed and very alone. He may also be mentally disturbed, His thoughts race through his present and into the future. Stimulating stuff.
