...tragic assassination scene. Information about it has been disseminated very, very successfully. Counterpoint has been doing the Harvard "circuit" lately--in a tentative way--and it's been playing to nearly sell-out crowds at a dollar a head so far. Even though the titles are still in the lab and the film is running without them. Even though there's no synchronised sound (prohibitively expensive) and parts of the picture are fuzzy and overexposed.

...same thing happened to a 1971-72 production of John Gay's The Beggar's Opera and a 1973 Academy staging of Jean Genet's The Screens. Lichtenstein has also brought in a wide variety of visiting theatrical attractions, from Jerzy Grotowski's Polish Theater Lab to the Whirling Dervishes of Turkey to the Peter Brook-Royal Shakespeare Company production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, which appeared following a Broadway...
