If the idea of staging the first chapter of Faulkner's brooding Southern epic, The Sound and the Fury, in all its unabridged glory sounds completely ridiculous, then consider that Elevator Repair Service's repertory includes a gripping 6 1/2-hour reading of the entire text of The Great Gatsby. Although livening up Faulkner's disorienting text may seem difficult, ERS's polished slapstick — both low-tech and high — brings clarity to the streams of consciousness. Armed with a reputation as one of America's leading experimental-theatre ensembles, ERS delivers stylish performances with pinpoint precision.
