| Publisher Description: Two short plays from the late 60s/early 70s set in and exemplifying that extraordinary period. A long-haired young man tries to peddle his peace- mongering papers in a conservative barbershop. When he has been run off, the peace goes to pieces. F... is a deliciously wry comment on the sensibilities of the time. Go-Go dancers wearing G-strings and pasties danced in oversized birdcages for the prurient pleasure of bar patrons. Bouncers were on hand to ensure the dancers' safety. It is doubtful anyone was ready for such an over-the-top drunk as bursts into Drinking at the Falls. Wasted beyond redemption, he takes on bouncer, Go-Go girl, imaginary warships, any vestige of common sense, sobriety or even reality. Possibly the most hilariously outrageous play ever performed in Off-Off's early years-years that saw a great deal of outrageousness, on stage, in the streets and throughout the world. A very savvy audience found the play side-splitting funny. Performed as a double bill, F... and Drinking at the Falls remain among the fondest of memories from Off-Off-Broadway's Golden Years. |
