The Sound and the Fury
Elevator Repair Service brings back its treatment of William Faulkner’s masterwork.
By Zachary Stewart
Literary mavens won’t want to miss Elevator Repair Service’s The Sound and The Fury, which is now enjoying a revival at the Public Theater. The show (which debuted in 2008 at New York Theatre Workshop) is sure to offer fresh insights to devotees of William Faulker’s famously dense novel. All others will likely walk away completely perplexed, but perhaps delighted in that confusion.
Elevator Repair Service is most notable for its seven-hour stage adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. Titled Gatz, that show features one performer reading the entire novel aloud while the company acts it out. The Sound and the Fury follows the same formula, but blessedly limits itself to the first chapter (“April Seventh, 1928”) of William Faulker’s lengthy novel about the fall of a prominent Mississippi family.
