Add to basketHardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 110 pages. Published in 1967. Rare "MacBird!" collectible item. A near-mint, brand-new, never-played copy of the recording by the original cast on vinyl (LP). The production values are exemplary in every respect: Two LP discs within…their protective original sheets. Introductory Text laid-in. Book of the complete text laid-in. Vintage photographs of the stage production printed on the back of the box. In lovely box that features the now-classic illustration of MacBird by Lisa Lyons. There is no ISBN. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Barbara Garson's "MacBird! : A Recording of The Complete Text of The Play With The Original Cast". With exclamation point, please! Since there is no film recording of the stage production, this is it. A burlesque of Shakespeare's "Macbeth", the burlesque concept has never been replicated about the even more ghastly, satire-worthy politicians of our time. The plot follows MacBird from the Kennedy 1960 Democratic National Convention to his assassination. Lyndon Johnson becomes "MacBird", Lady Bird Johnson, "Lady MacBird". The play weaves in lines from other Shakespeare plays such as "Hamlet" and "Richard III" for good measure, all rendered in Texas (the Johnsons) and Boston (the Kennedys) accents. The play opened on February 22, 1967, and did not close until January 21, 1968, after 386 performances. The original cast is every playwright's and stage director's Dream Team, and showcases a Who's Who of American acting. They ALL had major careers and are now indeed legendary: Stacy Keach, Rue McClanahan, Paul Hecht, William Devane, John Pleshette, John Clark, Cleavon Little, and David Spielberg. Notably, Cleavon Little made his professional debut in the play. Here are their inimitable actors' voices, recorded and committed for posterity. An absolute "must-have" collectible, not just memorabilia item, for "MacBird!" collectors. This title is a great recording. This is one of very few copies still available online and is in especially fine condition: Brand-new, clean, never-played. Exacting vinyl-condition raters rate this copy as "Near Mint" (NM). Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws (because they were played and handled carelessly). This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. Some of the greatest American actors of the 20th century. A fine collectible item. no.
