About This Item
New York: Stage 73, 1965. A hint of toning, few tiny nicks and marks; fine.. Broadsheet, approx. 8-1/2 X 11 in., printed on both sides by mimeograph. An extraordinary statement in support of Lionel Abel's play, based on Sophocles' "The Trachiniae" which played off-Broadway at Stage 73. The recto prints an impassioned statement lauding Abel's play - and criticizing the general mediocrity of New York's commercial theatre - published in the names of an impressive roster of New York's leading artists and intellectuals, including Alfred Barr, Jr., Irving Kristol, Harvey Swados, Irving Howe, Barney (i.e. Barnett) Newman, William Phillips, Norman Podhoretz, Robert Lowell, Meyer Schapiro, Esteban Vicente, Willem de Kooning, James Merrill, and Elizabeth Hardwick, among others. On the verso appear extended quotations from Albert Bermel's review of the play from "The New Leader". A uncommon ephemeron.
