DARK MONDAY at Merlin: TRUE DYLAN by Sam Shepard True Dylan is a one-act play based on an actual, somewhat “dramatized” interview that the playwright Sam Shepard conducted with his friend and fellow musician Bob Dylan for Esquire Magazine in 1987. It focuses mainly on Dylan’s early days in New York, his meeting with Woody Guthrie, what constitutes ‘truth’, the greatness of James Dean, his musical influences and his motorcycle crash.

Interviews with Bob Dylan generally have a tendency to drift into the absurd with the journalists exasperated and enervated beyond reason. Although Sam Shepard is a trusted friend and sometime song collaborator, he too finds himself in a somewhat surreal situation not dissimilar to the meandering dialogues of Estragon and Vladimir in Samuel Beckett’s WAITING FOR GODOT.

Throughout the play, SAM is taping the interview on a small recorder. But whenever he plays the tape back, he hears only a Jimmy Yancey piano solo. Eventually, some of the spoken words come back, but the music of Jimmy Yancey permeates and punctuates the short play, with the tune being one that BOB claims he heard from no known source at the onset of the scene.

From the very beginning, even before his career began, Dylan has been very protective and secretive about the details of his private life. Beginning with actually rechristening himself and inventing the hobo persona of a troubled youth who spent his formative years running away from home, in orphanages, traveling with carnivals and working for circuses, riding the rails all over the American Western and Southern states, assimilating blues, country and folk music on the road before eventually arriving in New York City.

Dylan invented himself from scratch and is an invention of his own fertile imagination. Even, or especially, Bob Dylan’s long anticipated “autobiography” – CHRONICALS – is not an entirely reliable source of information, as his “novelistic writing” contains an equal amount of “facts” as “poetic license” and is generally considered an entertaining “work of literature”.

Because Sam Shepard was not merely a muckraking reporter, he did have special access and insight into Bob Dylan’s personality, asking just the right questions and thus making this Esquire Magazine interview more informative than usual but he never the less states this about Dylan - “Myth is a powerful medium because it talks to the emotions and not to the head. It moves us into an area of mystery.” “Some myths are poisonous to believe in, but others have the capacity for changing something inside us, even if it’s only for a minute or two. Dylan creates a mythic atmosphere out of the land around us. The land we walk on every day and never see until someone shows it to us.”

Dark Monday at Merlin: SUNFLOWER SKELETONS by Allen Ginsberg The SUNFLOWER SKELETON project features lesser known poetry by Allen Ginsberg and brings together two works of especial interest as they form the bookends to his long career - SUNFLOWER SUTRA, written in 1955, one of his early startling poems and THE BALLAD OF THE AMERICAN SKELETON, written in 1995, is his last fully realized project; a collaboration with Paul McCartney and Philip Glass.
Allen Ginsberg was one of the founding fathers of a major literary movement popularly known as the Beat Generation and is considered one of the 20th century's most revolutionary and influential poets. He defies classification; poet, musician, songwriter, photographer, champion of human and civil rights, world traveler, spiritual seeker, political gadfly.
Thanks to the controversy surrounding his early extended work HOWL - which depicts the destructive forces of capitalism and conformity - Allen Ginsberg quickly became a galleon figure of the Beat Generation. His name and face was recognizable to millions who had never read so much as a single word of his poetry. Like Walt Whitman before him, the foundation of Ginsberg’s work was the notion that one’s individual thoughts and experiences resonated among the masses illustrating his idea that democracy begins with the raising of a single voice.
In 1948, author Jack Kerouac introduced the phrase "Beat Generation" to characterize an anti-conformist youth movement in New York; a literary movement that brought together a group of writers whose work explored and influenced American culture and politics in the post-war era. The bulk of their work was published and popularized throughout the 1950s. The central elements of Beat culture are the rejection of economic materialism and sexual repression, the opposition to militarism, the acceptance of Eastern religions, the experimentation with psychedelic drugs, and offering explicit portrayals of the human condition.
