My Dinner with Andre by Shawn P Wallace
-My Dinner with Andre- is a passionate, volatile, and humorous encounter between two friends who have not seen each other for a long time, and decide to catch up on each others' lives over dinner. Andre Gregory is an intense, highly experimental theater director and playwright in search of life's meanings and spiritual revelations. His friend, Wally Shawn, is an actor and playwright living in New York who is more preoccupied with the search for his next meal. As Andre recounts his global journeys involving esoteric theatrical experiments and mystical adventures, Wally listens with more than skepticism, as his attitudes shift among wonder, puzzlement, admiration, and anger. What finally emerges is a sensitive portrait of a friendship that survives and transcends contransting assumptions about love, death, art, and man's continuing quest for self-fulfillment.For more than half a century, André Gregory has been directing in New York. Wallace Shawn, Louis Malle, and Jonathan Demme have all worked with him on film adaptations of his stage creations. Gregory, Shawn, and Malle devised the now-famous My Dinner with André. He's also an actor, writer, teacher, painter, and the author of Bone Songs, a poetry book.
