The sonata-style material, which evokes Rumi, Thornton Wilder and James Joyce without ever seeming referential, is elegiac, furious and rhapsodic by turns--true theatrical poetry.\"--David C. Nichols, \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"To describe Andr 's contribution  as a theatre artist] gets into something which is enormously intangible. His greatest accomplishments are really in the realm of human insight and psychological truth.\"--Wallace Shawn\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBone Songs\u003c\/i\u003e is a meditation on the journey of marriage and the meaning of one's long life, by acclaimed avant-garde theatre director Andr  Gregory. Loosely based on Solomon's \u003ci\u003eSong of Songs\u003c\/i\u003e, it takes the shape of a passionate conversation with the artist's late wife. Gregory performs \u003ci\u003eBone Songs\u003c\/i\u003e as a kind of \"After Dinner with Andr ,\" weaving together his own personal anecdotes with the journey of five characters on a cruise to Antarctica: a young couple honeymooning, a middle-aged couple dealing with illness and an old man returning after the death of his wife. The signature performances sold out in Los Angeles and will debut this season in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndr  Gregory\u003c\/b\u003e has been one of the most important forces in the American theatre for nearly 40 years. He was the founder of Seattle Repertory Theatre, and in the late 1960s created the Manhattan Project, one of the leading theatres in the New York avant-garde. His ongoing collaboration with playwright Wallace Shawn is at the center of such films as \u003ci\u003eMy Dinner with Andre\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eVanya on 42nd Street\u003c\/i\u003e.
