Tooth of Crime - Second Dance

Zusatztext “Brilliant. . . . By far Mr. Shepard’s best play.” – The Wall Street Journal “A fascinating! even brilliant work. . . . It is bracingly insightful on the ephemerality and corrupting powers of stardom. . . . Few critics would deny its electricity and imagination on the page.” – The New York Times “Marvelously evocative. . . . Direct and immediate. . . . A simple allegory of fame American-style. . . . It packs a potent punch not readily forgotten.” – New York Post Informationen zum Autor SAM SHEPARD  was the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of more than fifty-five plays, three story collections, and two works of prose fiction.

Klappentext One of the plays that first announced Sam Shepard as an original voice in American theater, Tooth of Crime is his thrillingly innovative rock drama, published here in a revised edition that is as fresh and provocative as the original was more than thirty years ago. An aging rock star in a world in which entertainment and street warfare go hand in hand, Hoss must defend himself against Crow, a newcomer who battles him for fame. Combining musical styles and intense dialogue in an unconventional musical-fantasy, Tooth of Crime riffs brilliantly on rising stars and fading legends, and rock lived and died for.Act I Scene: A bare stage except for an evil-looking dark chair with a high back, something like an Egyptian pharoah's throne but simple, center stage. (HOSS enters .) HOSS: Song : "Anything I Say Can and Will Be Used Against You" ANYTHING I SAY CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU People tell me I look like hell Well I am hell I got a torture chamber orchestra At the Delirium Hotel I got an hallucination rattlesnake To twist my skill through You're my friend But I'm gonna kill you Somebody's got to monitor all this darkness darkness darkness Somebody's got to locate the bomb dot com Somebody's got to breakout through the night so starless starless starless Those who would overthrow the status quo Soul like smoke hole in the sky Gotta cry gotta cry gotta go gotta go gotta go Target Arab chic MK ultra satellite blowup Kill the pain let it rain let it rain I will disengage your mastery Until all you love is blasphemy Then I'll break in through your idiocy And twist your desire hideously And when you're the object of complete derision I'll make you a star on television Then if you want fame at a greater strength Speak to my girl Friday the thirteenth Got no background Got no files Crawl through the cable black op ground zero no flight zone All alone all alone all alone This is a story which is based on a true story Which is based on a lie Don't jack with me Sahib I'm history Don't jack with me Lucille I'm gone I'm gone
