Among the cast members for the 1917 Provincetown Players production of "The Angel Intrudes" and the 1918 production of "Sweet-and-Twenty" was Edna St. Vincent Millay; among the cast members for the 1916 Provincetown Players production of "King Arthur's Socks" was Max Eastman.
"These plays, with one exception, were written in Greenwich Village, and, with another exception, first performed there--some at the old Liberal Club, and others by the Provincetown Players. They are souvenirs of an intellectual play-time which, being dead, deserves some not-too-solemn memorial." [Author's prefatory note]
