RECOMMENDED READING

Sanctus Fumigaci by Todd Bash book cover

"Bash is one of the few contemporary playwrights who captures the spirit of surrealism. In fact, surrealist figures from the past, such as Luis Bunuel, Salvador Dali and Paul Eluard, appear as characters in a couple of his plays. Dream-like, funny, and sometimes disturbing, SANCTUS FUMIGACI (which, in English, loosely translates to "Holy Smoke") is recommended for fans of avant garde literature and experimental theater."
