I'M NOT SURE I'd want to be trapped in a small town in northern Idaho during a cold, dark winter with the crew that playwright-novelist-poet (and Idaho resident) Denis Johnson has created in Psychos Never Dream. Still, it's fascinating, in a grim sort of way, to see what happens as four lost souls travel down the road to no return, and that – the point where humanity teeters on the brink of oblivion – is where Johnson seems to live. The play is the fourth collaboration between Johnson and the always remarkable Campo Santo; the last one – Soul of a Whore, which opened at Intersection for the Arts last winter – was nothing short of spectacular. Although I'm unfamiliar with the work of Los Angeles actor John Diehl, the other members of the four-person cast – Catherine Castellanos, Cully Fredricksen, and Alexis Lezin – are Campo Santo regulars. Castellanos in particular has blossomed into a versatile, riveting actor; her performances in Naomi Iizuka's 17 Reasons (Why), Soul of a Whore, and Octavio Solis's Bethlehem, all at Intersection, were sensational. Start your year off on a note that befits a world flirting with social and political chaos. Through Feb. 16. Thurs.-Sun. and Feb. 16, 8 p.m., 446 Valencia, S.F. $9-$15 (Thurs. and Feb. 16, pay what you can). (415) 626-3311. (J.H. Tompkins)
