The LA Times reports a successful neuro story:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Theatre Review, 8/6/93:

"The Head", at the Mojo Ensemble, may go to the head of the late
night spoof class, at least until the next such show comes along.

A scientist's unfortunate dip into an acide bath has left him alive
only as a disembodied head (Tyre Patterson). But his ambulatory
colleague and lover (Jack Goodman) takes care of him, and these two
may make scientific history, as well as whoopie. But what if a 
jealous wife (Tracy Pullman) makes trouble?

That's the least of their worries when a marauding gang of thugs
invades the lab. The leading thug (Carlo Felix) has a very personal
grudge against one of the scientists. And that cord that powers the tank 
where the head is kept alive looks awfully fragile...

Wm. S. Leavengood's script has rowdy fun with the genre, and a more
cerebral kind of fun with the notion of "mind over matter." While
it never moves beyond the level of an extended sketch, that's about
all most theatregoers want at a late-night weekend time ("The Head"
also plays Thursdays at 8 p.m., for those who can't stay up that
late).

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"The Head" runs until Aug.29. Call 213-960-1604 for ticket info.
