“Book Descriptions: A surrealist collection of one-page one-act plays, CARDBOARD CLOUDS is a book of accumulation whose characters ooze through the spine to bind a narrative. A theater’s audience faces a stage staged with a fake theater and watches as the first baby is made, as nearly-dead Death names the clouds. This novella in stage plays performs the performance of performance, catalogs each and every charming danger of suspending one’s disbelief. Think Russell Edson hosting a speed dating evening in an abandoned theater at the end of the world.
Praise for CARDBOARD CLOUDS:
“I was occasionally reminded of Daniil Kharms and Lewis Carroll, but that won’t surprise you. Read a page before ye rise and ye shall pass the day unscathed. Read a page before sleep and thou shalt dream insanely. These dark one act plays are strangely comforting and addictive.” — Alex van Warmerdam, Palme d'Or nominated writer/director of BORGMAN & THE NORTHERNERS
“It is known that inside every theater there is a ghost. Less-known is that inside every ghost there is a theater. Not only does Benjamin Niespodziany know this, he allows us to enter that theater-in-the-ghost and gives us front row seats to the plays that are staged there. The result is funny, playful, terrifying, violent, and deeply wise. It is my fervent hope that these plays are some day staged, and that the performance never ends.” — Jeremy Radin, actor & author of DEAR SAL & SLOW DANCE WITH SASQUATCH
“Take a wild ride through Niespodziany’s opulent mind and his ten types of clouds. Anything is possible in his great world, including a theater with “100 stomachs!” So many cardboard boxes here, you may need to forklift your way out of these fabulous language theater.” — Vi Khi Nao, playwright & author of WAITING FOR GOD & FUNERAL (w/ Daisuke Shen)” DRIVE
