opens its 2017 season with the Ohio premiere of <i>Harm’s Way </i>by Mac Wellman, directed by Clyde Simon. <i>Harm’s
Way,</i> the darkly humorous fable of an angry man on a rampage through a
fantastical wilderness, chronicles the exploits of very angry Santouche as he
tries to make sense of his understanding of law and order in a nation of other very
angry people. Filled with Wild West and
circus sideshow imagery, the action
doesn’t unfold in any specific time or place.
But all the characters drink from the same poisoned well, which is
definitely recognizably American. It might be anytime in the last 70 years, or even
– not impossibly – in the next.</span></p><p></p>
