Editorial Reviews

VOICE OF THE TURTLEDOVE IS A CREATION STORY, tracing our civilization from the mating turtles who give it birth, up to the time when NAPOLEON, at age 16, loses his virginity to a Parisian prostitute. It's a story told by the OLD BLIND STORYTELLER, who is assassinated before our eyes in the year 2042. That future age is represented by patrols of armed FOOT SOLDIERS who are in charge of metaphor security and by the garish orange FLIGHT RECORDER BOX salvaged from the Turtledove - a gleaming white supersonic jet plane lost at the bottom of the Beaufort Sea, whose passengers were members of the last symphony orchestra left on the planet. VOICE OF THE TURTLEDOVE was first presented in our Seattle studio, 1988; CENTER FOR PUPPERTY ARTS, Atlanta, 1992; ON THE BOARDS, Seattle and at the INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF PUPPET THEATER, NYC, 1995
