Todo Con Nada's 1997 celebration of playwright and director Richard Foreman's work went so well that the Off-Off-Broadway storefront theatre has decided to stage a second festival, "No Strings Attached, Part Two: Mind Attack!" The month-long event will run July 5-Aug. 1 and feature 12 of the prolific Foreman's plays, including four which are receiving their English language and U.S. premieres.

All the plays, with one exception, will be presented at the Nada space at 167 Ludlow Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. In typical Nada overload style, anywhere from two to seven Foreman plays can be seen at the theatre on any given day. "Mind Attack" productions include:

Total Recall (Sophia=(Wisdom): Part 2), directed by Maggie Cino, July 5-31.
Classical Therapy (or) A Week Under the Influence, directed by Jen Owens, July 7-Aug. 1 (U.S. premiere).
