Cultural Writing. George Dennison's notes on the famous Bread and Puppet Theater never became the book he planned. He died in 1987, his notes still unorganized. Geoffrey Gardner and Taylor Stoehr have now edited those notes, and they prove a fascinating glimpse into genesis, history, and politics of Peter Schumann's gang of performers, a group simultaneously influenced by and comparable to classical European theater, German Expressionism, folk art of many cultures, and medieval pagent plays.
