...names and titles around a bit, the same little pikers in back of those other two shows--let alone much of the more resounding Cambridge entertainments over the last three years--are responsible for the latest and in lots of ways the most dazzling of them. People like Stu Beck, Bob Bush, Shannon Scarry, Bea Paipert and Josh Rubins have become integral parts of the local scence--like parking meters and potholes...

When a failure to pay back taxes shuttered the Living Theater in 1963, Co-Founders Julian Beck and Judith Malina took their troupe to Europe. They have been there ever since, touring 95 cities in four Volkswagen buses. In addition to nondelivery of scenery, the company has had to cope with censorship in Spain, riots in France, and fistfights in several Italian towns. This sort of mishap scarcely fazes an outfit that is run like a permissive kindergarten...
