The press release announcing the Public Theater’s 2012-2013 season brings happy news: Richard Foreman returns to its stage with a new play, Old Fashioned Prostitutes (A True Romance) next April. Readeth the blurb: “Snapshots from an enigmatic fairy-tale in which Suzie, the elusive coquette, brings Samuel to his knees – from where he worships a life he only half understands. Old Fashioned Prostitutes (A True Romance) is an expressionistic chamber-play that twists emotional heartache into a landscape of continual mental invention, marking the return to theater of a celebrated artist who the New York Times has dubbed ‘the Godfather of the American avant-garde.’ It is presented in association with Ontological-Hysteric Theater.” Welcome back, Mr. Foreman.
