"Bash is one of the few contemporary playwrights who captures the
spirit of surrealism. In fact, surrealist figures from the past, such as
Luis Bunuel, Salvador Dali and Paul Eluard, appear as characters in a
couple of his plays. Dream-like, funny, and sometimes disturbing,
SANCTUS FUMIGACI (which, in English, loosely translates to "Holy
Smoke") is recommended for fans of avant garde literature and experimental
theater."
