14 Mimeograph pages including the cover, printed on rectos only. A working script for the performance. A play for 13 actors at a long table. This copy with the names of the actors playing each of the parts handwritten : Ron Loewensohn, Ron Padgett, Bob Branaman, Phil Whalen, JoAnne McClure among others. This is Beat artist Robert LaVigne's copy. Performed at The Batman Gallery on Thursday, Dec. 22, 1960 (see pp. 214 The Beat Generation Galleries and Beyond; Clements A6). Published in Floating Bear in 1961; in 1972 in The Mammals. Needless to say, rare. It is hard to imagine many copies especially by the principal players surviving. A bit rough: back cover torn, nearly detached, coffee stains throughout the middle of the script. Good, but complete and rare.
