Rebel Without a Pause, which began performances at La MaMa October 3, is performed as a stream-of-conscious monologue by Reno and deals entirely with the ever-changing events of New York City following the WTC/Pentagon tragedy and its aftermath. In a theatrical reflection that is partly deconstructionist politics and partly a patriotic confession, she challenges the audience to keep up with her as she attempts to assimilate the unfolding crisis.
