Commentary and Los Angeles Theater Review: TAMBO & BONES (Kirk Douglas Theatre)
N-WORD, PLEASE! In six words, Samuel Beckett devours the human experience: “Birth was the death of him.” This line permeates not just A Piece of Monologue (1979), but all of the master’s works.

Of course, what I like or love is immaterial…
