[Victor · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fascinating and elegiac series of somewhat disjointed notes on both the productions of Bread and Puppet and the lives of the theater/community members. In some ways reveals more than it intends in its "great man" style musings on Peter Schumann, I think, opening up a view onto the Silent Generstion's subtle personality cults exercised through the lives of Baby Boomers through the 60s counterculture and its later offshoots.
