Last January, singer-songwriter Mike Doughty wrote to us with a creative New Year’s resolution: to write a rock opera based on the Book of Revelation. “It is an absolutely terrifying, monster-movie, psychedelic tale of destruction, and the language is so beautiful, it is so bizarre and wonderful,” DoughtytoldKurt Andersen. “I thought, with the right music, and the right actors declaiming the text, and the right visuals, it would be a great show.”
