Idiot Savant
Public Theater/Martinson Hall

Willem Dafoe takes the title role in a wild theatrical odyssey that could only have sprung from the fantastical mind of Richard Foreman, New York’s legendary avant-garde genius. This new work is a philosophical comedy, in the great tradition of Ionesco and Preston Sturges
