Watching it in real life was pretty excruciating, not least because the stage manager kept giving the puppeteers cues that were audible from the ninth row and they just kept missing them. But, hey, different strokes for different folks.
I got enough Foucault to last me for the rest of my life when I was an undergrad. By the time I realised every grand assertion about human nature and society that the guy had to make was totally unfalsifiable, I just couldn't take him seriously anymore, and still don't. Discipline and Punish has some parts that are pretty damn hot, though -- makes for amusing bedtime reading.
