Thomas May reviews The Evening at Memeteria:

Betsey reads Richard Maxwell's Theater For Beginnners to a clearly mesmerized OtB staff. Get your own copy and find out what the fuss is all about. Copies of this book and some of Maxwell's other work will be available for purchase in the lobby over the performance weekend. Bonus: see the show on Friday and have your book signed by Maxwell after the post-show Q&A. 

Naomi Skwarna interviews Richard Maxwell at Hazlitt:

Did acting lack something for you?

A project by OtB Ambassador James Holt.

Educate yourself: go in-depth with Maxwell's aesthetic with this paper from Theron Schmidt at academia.edu:

Jay Gabler at thetangential.com gives his views on the opening of The Evening at the Walker Art Center. Please note that this show is a fluid work and the OtB version may differ from the Walker version:

Instead of a direct interview, BOMB Magazine's John Kelsey learned a monologue (written by Maxwell) and received direction from Maxwell. Their rehearsal process became the "interview" of Maxwell's aesthetic and directing style. A taste of the rehearsal process:

Rehearsal: Part 1

(John recites the monologue)

The New Yorker Magazine profiled Richard Maxwell in 2014, before the premiere of "Isolde" at the Abrons Art Center:

Playwrights Richard Maxwell and Sarah Benson talk theater archetypes, death, writing, the creation of "The Evening" and much more on the Walker blog:

Benson:

I know the show has evolved a lot during your process so far. What’s it become?

Maxwell:

"Around each audition, rehearsal or performance there is an expectation. There is pressure for a display of talent, or 'rightness.' What will you show? How shall you behave, given that that behavior will likely be repeated?

I offer my two cents from the vantage of a person watching, empathically.
