A Cut Above

Last year, Buntport experimented with two forms it had never tried before, realism and horror -- not as splattershock, but as a way of examining the world. While last season's offerings worked well enough, A Synopsis of Butchery seems a large step forward. It retains the sense of play and experimentation we expect of Buntport, but the work is more unified, with a heightened sense of artistic control.
