Action and Killer's Head at American Place Theatre directed by Nancy Meckler. Gere was an acting student of Handiman. Influenced by Peter Handke's Ride Across Lake Constance and trying to decide where to settle in America. Most exquisitely condensed play. Lucinda Childs Dance.

Funny and scary feeling. Impaired ability to articulate thoughts. The atmoshere of a drug rehab center. Politically traumatized in not postapocalyptic society. Marranca on Action mirrors the very difficulty of finding a language of social communication and a means to express feeling.
