AntiologyMusic by John Glover, Words by Kelley Rourke
Featuring Baritone Andrew Wilkowske “The point isn’t to win,” according to Nash, a key character in Dana Spiotta’s award-winning Eat the Document. A radical remnant of the 70s who now presides over an anarchist bookstore, Nash draws the disaffected youth of the 1990s into a shifting series of “collectives.”
In this musical response to Spiotta’s novel, the team behind “Guns ‘n Rosenkavalier” and “Lucy” explores the two eras – their language, technology, music and activism. With special guest Dana Spiotta. October 10-12, 2018 Boswell Book Company 2559 N Downer Ave, Milwaukee |
