A late printed acting edition of a play performed under the auspices of the Ridiculous Theatrical Company at the Charles Ludlam Theater, here assuming far greater weight as a document of the downtown New York avant-garde. Published in 1991 by Samuel French Inc. Small 8vo (5" x 7"), printed wrappers, 53 pages, b/w diagrams. A significant association copy, inscribed on the epigraph page by Koutoukas to María Irene Fornés, one of the defining figures of Off-Off-Broadway and among the most influential experimental playwrights of the twentieth century: "For Maria Irene Fornes all for art?fun?and the great dream! As always Harry Koutoukas." Koutoukas?poet, playwright, and one of the originating spirits of the Ridiculous theatrical mode?operated within the same generative milieu that produced Charles Ludlam and radiated outward from the Caffe Cino and Judson Poets Theater. His work, often ephemeral in form and transmission, survives unevenly in print; as such, signed material of any kind is uncommon, and association copies rarer still. That this copy is inscribed to Fornés is of particular consequence. Though aesthetically distinct from the Ridiculous tradition, Fornés occupied a parallel and intersecting position within the Off-Off-Broadway ecosystem, shaping its intellectual and pedagogical legacy across decades. The inscription?warm, informal, and expressive of a shared artistic ethos ("art?fun?and the great dream")?suggests not presentation formality but collegial recognition between two artists formed by the same downtown crucible. Acting editions issued by Samuel French are, by nature, utilitarian objects. Here, however, the modest format only sharpens the sense of immediacy: a working text transformed into a primary artifact of a now-historic theatrical community whose influence far exceeds its material traces. Light bumping and rubbing to extremities. An uncommon and resonant association copy linking two central figures of the Off-Off-Broadway avant-garde.

First edition. 8vo, 50 [2] pp, saddle-stapled wraps. First edition, inscribed by the playwright at the title page. Scarce book publication of this play by the noted actor and playwright who was an important part of the Off Off Broadway movement and development of camp theatre in the 1960's, especially around the Caffe Cino. Near fine with some tiny spotting to cover.
