X-Message-Number: 2379 From: (Bruce White 619-597-3807) Subject: CRYONICS Neuro Option - success story Date: Fri, 6 Aug 1993 18:04:40 -0700 (PDT) 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.
