No Theater, under the direction of Roy Faudree and Sheena See, presents one of Richard Maxwell’s early plays about a love “triangle made simple, in stark songs and screams . . . no other American theater artist working today manages to elicit such complex responses from such seemingly simple material” (Ben Brantley, The New York Times, reviewing the New York City Players’ 2001 production of CAVEMAN).

No Theater of Northampton, MA, has previously brought its original plays to The Performing Garage – THE ELEPHANT MAN (1970s), LAST RESORT (1980s), and DUPE (1990s) – before touring the work throughout Europe. “The best-kept secret in experimental theater” (National Public Radio). No Theater’s production of CAVEMAN is co-directed and performed by Roy Faudree, Sheena See and Tom Mahnken.
