You might not know that you want to see "Caveman"

But you do. I missed "Drummer Wanted" last year, and knew nothing about Richard Maxwell's work before going to "Showcase." Playing a hard and isolated, washed-up traveling businessman, the actor connected with his intimate audience. The piece depicted a man who forcefully distances himself from others, but the room was with him. "Showcase," a slow and short tragedy, included physical humor and modern irony, and wasn't pompous or inaccessible. It ended with a deadly seething original song. "Caveman" promises to have more levels of interaction and more compositions woven into a longer performance. I think it'll give everyone a lot to think about.
