Wraps. Condition: Very Good. Green Room Press, Inc., Published 1974. Wraps, 50 pp., followed by 14 pp. of vocal score and five pages of black-and-white production photographs, unpaginated; 22 cm; hand-lettered pictorial front cover. In Very Good condition. Yellow pictorial paper covers, staple bound. Mild shelf wear with bumping and creasing to edges and corners, a few small nicks to edges, and light sunning, toning and soiling. Pale stain to front cover beside the title, with a small dark spot at lower left. Binding tight. Pages clean. Otherwise unmarked. Children's musical play for a company of nine player-musician-dancers, adapted from Hans Christian Andersen's "The Beetle": Benjamin Beetle, who insists he is not a bug but a very rare insect with an illustrious family tree, demands gold horseshoes after the stable racehorse Secretary is given a set, leaves home when he is called insignificant, and works his way through a backyard of flowers, a caterpillar, frogs, a Sensitive Plant and a Venus Fly-Trap, and the vaudeville double-act Professors Hip and Hop before returning to marry Libby Beetle. Players sing, dance, play instruments and make the sound effects; roles double and triple for a cast of nine, or the company may be enlarged so each actor takes a single part. Production notes cover set pieces, the eight-foot puppet lady, papier-mache and mask construction for the horse, insect make-up, costume, lighting and a score written to work with a real orchestra or with guitars, kazoos and homemade percussion. Vocal score for Hello, Hello; Friends From Your Own Backyard; and Goodbye, Goodbye.
