Synopsis
William Styron's play IN THE CLAP SHACK takes place on the Urological Ward of the United States Naval Hospital on a large Marine Corps base in the South. The time is the summer of 1943. The inmates represent the spectrum of imaginable unmentionable diseases-- especially in 1943.
Into this den comes Wallace Magruder, an 18 year old diagnosed with a supposedly rampant case of syphilis. Magruder's fears prove worse than the reality.
IN THE CLAP SHACK was first presented in December 1972 at the Yale Repertory Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut.

Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Price-Clipped. "William Styron's first play is a comedy-drama set in the VD ward of a Navy hospital during World War II. Wallace Magruder had a problem. Young, innocent, confused, he was brought into the Urological Ward with a 'Stratospheric"-to use Dr. Glanz's word-Wassermann. The vicious practical jokes and personal antagonisms of the men in the ward dismay the young Magruder. But he is driven to desperation by the sanctimonious and secretly salacious Dr. Glanz, who revels in sexual case histories and plays on Magruder's consternation and sense of betrayal for having been unfaithful to his high school sweetheart. By turns ribald, funny and poignant, 'In the Clap Shack' dramatizes the foibles, follies and fortitude of the human animal." ILLUSTRATED in black-and-white photography with accompanying descriptive captions. 96 pages. LF. Seller Inventory # 009496
