1964réf. 3067New York: The American Theatre for Poets n.d. 1964. A rare playbill from the New York Poets Theatre announcing plays by LeRoi Jones "The Eighth Ditch" Diane di Prima "Murder Cake" and Frank O'Hara "Loves Labor an eclogue. Jones later Amiri Baraka and di Prima were two of the founders of the New York Poets Theatre which operated in locations on the Lower East Side. "The Eighth Ditch" was Jones's first play and was originally presented at the New York Poets Theatre in 1961. The play derived from his larger work "The System of Dante's Hell" which ignited enormous controversy because of its explicit sexual content. In fact Jones and di Prima were arrested in 1961 on charges of sending obscenity through the mail after they had published "The Eighth Ditch" in their literary magazine "The Floating Bear." They also had published Williams S. Burroughs's "Routine: Roosevelt after Inauguration" in the same issue of June 1961. In any case the charges against Jones and di Prima were eventually dropped. See Steven Clay and Rodney Phillips A Secret Location on the Lower East Side page 75. The playbill presents biographies of the writers and listings of casts. There are also brief commentaries on each of the plays by directors Alan Marlowe on Jones and James Waring on di Prima. The playbill includes O'Hara's comments on his own play. Playbills of the New York Poets Theatre are extremely uncommon in the market. Many were cheaply printed and probably thrown away. In addition OCLC shows no institutional holdings of this playbill. None in commerce. PHYSICAL DETAILS: Printed wrappers measuring 8.5 x 7 inches 217 x 177 mm 8 mimeographed pages unbound. CONDITION: Sunning to extremities vertical crease. About Very Good.

1989Very faint foxing else book is fine. ; 196 pages; In writing this book on the plays of New Comedy the author's aim is to fill a gap in the existing literature by concentrating on what one might look for in watching and reading these plays and why such an exercise might be pleasurable. The social comedy of Menander, Plautus and Terence provided a style of comic drama which was to prove the root of all subsequent western comedy. Dr Hunter gives a literary account of this drama, placing it in its ancient context and then ranging over a number of specific topics and themes: the dramatic craft of the poets, their exploration of how to give variety to stereotyped plots and characters, the presentation of women, the use of language and themes from tragedy, the place of moralising and philosophy. All Greek and Latin is translated.

1871590 p. + Portrait plates + Added chromolithographed title page. Thick 8vo. 22 cm. Original deeply embossed cloth binding, somewhat worn at extremities. Some foxing and age stain. Private library labels. Olive Logan was the daughter of a famous actor, dramatist, and theater manager who was most active in Ohio and the mid-West. She was a child actress who went on to a long stage career. She suppleme nted her income by working as a journalist, and later as a lecturer. Some of her accounts of the stage were sensational. As she unfolds her memoirs she gives a great many little details about the art of stage craft and the state of the American theater in the latter half of the 19th century. Much of this is accomplished by her portrayals of the great stage personalities of the age. She also tries to redeem the actors' profession from the still wide-held belief that it was immoral and dishonorable. "If (my work) strips off some of the 'gauze and vanity' from the 'show world' I hope it a l so e xhibits that world in a fairer and juster light to many who have hitherto looked on it with ungenerous and unenlightened eyes" -- From the Preface.
