Chicago Tribune: "The first show Robert Falls directed at the Goodman Theatre nearly got the place shut down.
The 1979 production of Sam Shepard's 'Curse of the Starving Class' drew an outcry from audience members who didn't know what to make of the playwright's work, let alone the spectacle of actor John Malkovich, at Falls's direction, relieving himself onstage."

Its almost cliche how the Goodman Theater was almost shut down, and now it is known as one of the greatest regional theaters. It is interesting that in today's world where experimental and risky theater flourish, something like Falls' direction would not be a shock. Society has truely evolved.
