I guess we are showing our (aging) wings, Max. I remember seeing La Mama (sp?), do Rochelle Owens' wonderfully outrageous FUTZ and another piece at the Fringe in 1967. Happy to hear, Sally, that it remains an incubator and great good luck to your son. I was fresh out from two years in Nigeria just plunged into the madness of the Biafran Civil war, and Edinburgh and the Festival was like entering a wonderland where I also found myself doing poetry readings with Ted Joans and Michael Horowitz. The theater, however, was the best part. La Mama - in their wonderful physical & vernacular brashness prepared me for The Living Theater, The Bread and Puppet Theater and Growtoski in the States, all of which gave the 60's an architecture to live through and witness the private and public upheavals du jour. No one said "du jour. "!

sorry I can't make it, Sally.
Hope it goes well.
I recall a premiere in a tiny room at the festival circa 1964 - new playwright
Tom Stoppard - Rosencrantz etc.
We thought he had promise if he held in the chat.
