Suppose Beautiful Madeline Harvey is legendary experimental theater icon Richard Foreman’s first new play in 10 years, produced and performed by Brooklyn-based ensemble Object Collection. Beautiful Madeline Harvey has a problem: she is not certain whether she does or does not, in fact, exist. Handsome Roger Vincent waits for her at a boulevard café, where their eyes meet like an electric shock. A paper-thin love story within a paper-thin world, speeding towards inevitable catastrophe…or perhaps, a very serious twist.
Acclaimed for their invigorating blend of music and theater, Object Collection got their start 20 years ago in Foreman’s own Ontological-Hysteric Theater. Suppose Beautiful Madeline Harvey extends Richard Foreman’s legacy to a new generation of experimentalists.
