Spring and Existential theatre

Don't rush planting seeds, just because the time seems right, wait for the right conditions(if too wet seeds may rot) Early potatoes can be put in around this time (april) Also leek, lettuce, onion, parsnip, pea, radish, spinach, and turnip seed.


Existentialist theatre presents the sense of the irrationality of the human condition in a form of highly lucid and logically constructed reasoning. While the theatre of the absurd strives to express it's sense of the senselessness of the human condition by open abandonment of rational devices and discursive thought. It is this striving for integration of subject matter and form in which it is expressed, that separates the two.

i have a question/favour to ask...:
if you ever see any copies of anything by Artuad come into the bookstore, do you think you could let me know? maybe set it aside? i would jump all over it in an instant. oh and it would have to be english, im ashamed to say my french is awful...its a lonnnnnggggg shot, i realize, but i thought it would be worth it to ask.

Well...if it's Antonin Artaud: Selected Writings, edited by Susan Sontag...you're going to have to fight me for it or at least arm wrestle. I thought we had a copy of The Theater and it's Double at Camas, I'm doing a shift again on Tuesday so I'll have a look for you.
