They're the one group as interested in getting into trouble as I am.—Richard Foreman, avant-garde theatre legend

For decades, the Wooster Group has fearlessly explored everything from Our Town, pornography, and The Cocktail Party, to Timothy Leary and the suicide of Spalding Gray's mother. The result is a series of startling collages—The Rhode Island Trilogy, Route 1 & 9, L.S.D.—that invariably arouse excitement and incite controversy

In Breaking the Rules, David Savran captures the essence of the Wooster Group by creating his own collage. Combining detailed description, critical commentary, production photographs, and extensive interviews with company members, Savran brings into sharp focus these remarkable artists and the astonishing pieces they have made.

The Wooster Group [provides] one of the most provocative bodies of work the experimental theatre has created in the last ten years.
—Don Shewey, New York Times

The Wooster Group are the real McCoy: technically brilliant, sardonic, witty, irritating, raunchy, insouciant, Dadaist, semiologist(ish) and never never dull.
Time Out

The Wooster Group have found a way for theatre to reflect not so much modern issues as the actual experience of being alive in the modern world.
