And the lamb finally lies down in Kaohsiung

Thirty years ago the release of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis was so significant to young men and women they defined themselves in relationship to it.

The Kaohsiung production of The Lamb is unlikely to attract quite the same attention, but it should be an interesting show nevertheless, with three musicians from Logical Productions (Terry Engels, Dave Wilke and Shaw Cunningham) taking care of the soundtrack live on stage, and a film of the story by Alex Williams simultaneously projected onto two screens.

"To make Kaohsiung look like New York wasn't easy," says producer and director Brad Loghrin, of Riveting Theater Productions. "But the stuff outside New York, where it's supposed to be pretty weird, that was easier."

In Loghrin's adaptation of Peter Gabriel's original story, Rael, a Puerto Rican "street punk" (Francis Stirling) is absorbed by a wall and floats off to another plane of existence.

Amazing. The best album in the history of the world. And I miss it cause I'm here and not there where I usually am! Rats!

1. I, too, love Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

I haven't thought about it for awhile. Think I'll break out the albums, and see if my record player still works at the correct speed!
