90-minute play Rameau's Nephew

Watched this 90-minute play Rameau's Nephew, or the Second Satire, an imaginary philosophical conversation by Denis Diderot, written in ~ 1700. "Musician, maniac, madcap, mimic… and genius all in one, the destitute nephew of the famous Rameau trades witticisms with a logical Philosopher, deconstructing his perfectly rationalized and orderly world with wildly antic energy. The Nephew transforms into an entire cast of hilarious characters as he sets each scene of his argument." — at Spooky Action Theater.
