Item Description
Lot consists of two 12" records, 4.25x7" 112-page book titled "The Complete Text Of Mac Bird!" by Barbara Garson. 12.5x12.5x5/8" deep hinged box. Mac Bird originated in Aug. 1965 as a slip of the tongue when Garson, speaking at an anti-war rally in Berkeley, Calif., quite accidentially referred to the First Lady of the U.S. as Lady Mac Bird Johnson. Since it was just a few weeks after the Watts insurrection and the Berkeley troop train demonstrations, the opening lines of the play suggested themselves immediately: 'When Shall We Three Meet Again/In Riot Strike Or Stopping Train?' Garson then decided to write a 15-minute skit based on MacBeth to be performed w/Oct. 15-16 International Days of Protest. Afterward she embarked upon this full length play. Album cover reads "A Recording Of The Complete Text Of The Play With The Original Cast." Starring as Mac Bird was a young Stacy Keach (later to become TV's Mike Hammer). Keach's performance won him his first Obie and a Vernon Rice Drama Desk Award. Cast members are pictured on back. Small gray cover rub marks stain hairline upper left but box is Fine. Contents appear unused and N. Mint. © 1967.
