Over the years the Voice critics have watched a wide variety of artists in coffee-houses, loft spaces, churches, streets and anywhere else productions have struggled into existence. Drawing on this longstanding experience, the reports of Village Voice reviewers - Michael Feingold, Alisa Soloman and Erika Monk in particular - have demonstrated their deep understanding of the works of Fornes and other playwrights, directors, designers and actors.
