Richard Foreman: The Manifestos and Essays by Richard Foreman
During the forty-five years Richard Foreman has been staging his wildly inventive work, he has been wrestling with the basic question of 'What is art?'. This book collects his writings on the subject, from his early manifestos through his recent transition to film, and provides a fascinating window into this singular artist's mind and creative process.
'Richard Foreman reinvented dialogue, action, sound, stage design, and philosophical groundwork as no other stage artist in our history.' PEN/Laura Pels Master American Dramatist Award citation
Foreman, Richard: - Having completed a BA in literature at Essex University in 1973, Richard Foreman took on a variety of occupations including community arts and theatre work. In the late 1980s, writing as 'Dick Foreman', he became a full time scriptwriter of comic strips, progressing from one-off stories to a monthly series for US publisher DC comics. 'Black Orchid' ran for two years. Following this, his working life switched to other interests, but for twenty years he continued writing quarterly scripts for photo-stories/comic strips in 'Who Cares?', a national magazine for children in care. Since 2009 he has returned full time to writing. Following a series of well-received articles for Alan Moore's 'Dodgem Logic' magazine, he began work on 'Wilful Misunderstandings'. He has recently contributed to the magazines 'Roundyhouse' and 'Tears in the Fence' and is currently writing a novel.
