Drama of Works, directed by Gretchen Van Lente, uses puppets built from natural and found materials to tell a fable of birds whose babies are dying, paralleling the history of DDT with the Arthurian myth of the cursed Fisher King. The script is assembled from found text including Wagner's Parsifal, Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, and T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land. About 90 minutes, no intermission, in the Theater.
