...reverberating brogue attracted curious glances from passersby on Plympton St., and several Adams House residents peered in at the door for awhile, distracted from lunch by the one-man show...
...DRUGS, ROCK & ROLL. Eric Bogosian is the Swinburne of sleaze. The master monologuist finds fetid poetry in the butt ends of urban American lives: street people, soul-dead tough guys, ex-dopester rock stars.

Representing an unpopular criminal defendant! Why of all the heinous, rotten, despicable acts...
