Joe Seely

25

   "I met Joe through playwright Asher Hartman, whose work has become a central obsession of mine. Machine has produced seven of his plays, including Purple Electric Play in the Machine theater, featuring a delirious assault of language, affect, and special effects, including a foot breaking through the ceiling, levitating boxes of Pampers, and a denouement in which all the actors were consumed by a massive tongue filling the entire space. Asher’s play Mr. Akita debuted at the Tang as part of the exhibition this book is about."
