HOWL
This evening's HOWL is not an homage: it's a portal. A real-time, off-line, be-bop lean into the "visions! omens! hallucinations! miracles! ecstasies!" of America "then" and "now." A reminder, a wake up call, an invitation to Howl about the Road we've been on. HOWL looks back to a generation "destroyed by madness" to find a mirror for our own Facebook walls and Twittered souls. Ladies and gentleman, an evening of HOWL is a link with or without http:// : a watershed conduit of a poem that is as provocative now as it was then.

Directed by Emily K. Harrison and Teresa Harrison

Praise for square product theatre's HOWL:
"Powerful, inclusive, hypnotic, a shaman's revival of an intensity of experience rarely known in our superficial age." - Austin Live Theatre
Praise for Ginsberg's HOWL, 1956:
"Incantatory." - The Guardian
"..the most remarkable poem of the [Beat generation]." The New York Times Book Review
"..the poem left us standing in wonder, or cheering and wondering, but knowing at the deepest level that a barrier had been broken, that a human voice and body had been hurled against the harsh wall of America..." Michael McClure, poet
This adaptation of "HOWL" made possible by special arrangement with the Wylie Agency, LLC and the Allen Ginsberg Estate.
