Episode notes

In this episode, Michael Gene Sullivan, playwright and performer, collective member of the San Francisco Mime Troupe, and author of a celebrated dramatic adaptation of George Orwell's 1984, talks about the culture of anti-intellectualism, class domination, distraction, and defeatism, and prescribes his resolutely revolutionary brand of political theatre. We discuss a wide range of topics along the way, and he shares with us two of the many Mime Troupe's songs that has sung.
