OMG, Bat, thank you so much for this treasure trove of memorabilia! I can't believe you got to see any Kazan play, let alone this one, perhaps the most unlikely Kazan effort I could think of. I love the play (having read it only), but I can't imagine the joy it must have brought you when you actually saw it (and that production, in particular). Thank you, for sharing this, and for allowing me the vicarious thrill of feeling that I've now, in some way, seen it, too. Interesting to see Pat Hingle in the cast, but not a surprise, given that Kazan directed him on Broadway the year before in The Dark at the Top of the Stairs. What a trip down memory lane this is for me. Even I, the biggest Kazan fan, tend to forget the extent of his theatrical accomplishments. Now I'll have to dig out the play and read it again. (And it also has a music score by my beloved friend, the amazing David Amram, who also wrote the music for Kazan's production of Arthur Miller's After the Fall and Kazan's film, Splendor in the Grass.) Thank you again, so much, for sharing all of this.
