| Good luck with this one. I saw every show Ludlam did in the 1970s and 1980s, and "Der Ring" was definitely his weakest effort, as well as his longest. I remember seeing this in the theater that is now NYTW. I recall a couple of laughs. The costumes were magnificent. I think Ludlam won an Obie for them. | |

| He was really so incredibly talented and taken from us far too soon. That title is so funny -- I think Richard Wagner would shit if if he, being infamously antisemitic among other notorious traits-- though still capable of writing glorious music, realized the Yiddish word "Farlonjet" meaning basically "lost" "or "confused, mixed up" was being used in a takeoff of his Ring cycle. |
