Items related to The Playground
The wry fantasy of this delightful play, written in a poetic idiom both witty and lyrical, proves with an agile irony the follies and hopes of our time. In the precarious playground of grown-ups, anxiety abides, ostriches are homeless, and the right bright balloon has a string attached.

From the Author:
"Follow your own Weird." But this doesn't mean that all you have to do is turn on the camera and express yourself. Just as talking has nothing to do with creating, self-expression has nothing to do with art. "Anything goes" may be therapy but that is only prelude to the shaping of visions thus discovered. -- James Broughton
From the Inside Flap:
THE PLAYGROUND quietly won its author a Phelan Award, was printed in an issue of Theatre Arts devoted to new theatre forms, and received its first production at Mills College. The many droll illustrations by Zev which accompany the text add their own note of playful perversity to this uneasy frolic through a precarious world.
