Vintage poster for the 1959 off-Broadway play, which opened on July 15, 1959, at the Living Theatre. Poster designed by Inkweed Studios, with a label affixed to the recto stating showtimes. Presumably either unique or produced in very small quantity. Mounted on art board, as issued and used. Founded in 1951 by Beat poet, Kabbalist, and Lower East Side underground luminary, Lionel Ziprin, with his wife, illustrator and dancer, Joanne Ziprin, Inkweed Studios was originally created to produce "studio cards"-greeting cards to rival the mass-produced cards produced by the Hallmark Company. While not financially successful, Inkweed did produce many outstanding graphics, such as the poster on offer here. The company also served as the launching pad for the graphic work of artists such as Harry Smith, Jordan Belson, Bruce Conner, Barbara Remington, and William Mohr. Jack Gelber's landmark play within a play observes a producer and writer attempting to stage a production using "real" heroin addicts, largely jazz musicians, waiting for their score, interspersed with jazz music. Notable not only for its honest depiction of addiction, the play also radically re-imagined the relationship between audience and actor, with actors utilizing the theatre's aisles as performance areas, an actor presented as an audience member, and actors remaining in character and panhandling during intermission. A key play in the history of American jazz and an evocative portrait, and product, of the Beat era. Winner of three Obie Awards, including Best New Play, Best All-Around Production, and Best Actor for Warren Finnerty. Made into an equally groundbreaking and largely unrecognized motion picture in 1961, directed by Shirley Clarke, and starring Finnerty and William Redfield. 13.75 x 21.75 inches, archivally framed to 16.25 x 24.25 inches. Very Good plus with some light corner and edgewear, a small chip to the bottom right corner, and a small bruise to the mid-right edge.…
