Not quite cruelty,
By
This review is from: The Cenci: A Play. (Paperback)
Artaud states that his version of The Cenci is not excatly what he envisions as the Theatre of Cruelty, yet he is toying with elements that are intrensic to his theory. Whether it's the translation or Artaud's stylistic choice, most of the text comes off as hokey, and incongrous with the action he requires. It's a great read to see the dificulties Artaud faced as he tried to make acceptable theater that remained in line with his theories, but one can imagine why the play, when produced, was a huge flop. For furthering one's (hopeful) understanding of Artaud it's imortant and worth reading, but does not have the bite or vision of The Spurt of Blood or There Is No More Firmament.
