PARADISE NOW: COLLECTIVE CREATION OF THE LIVING THEATRE.
NY: Random House, 1971. First edition. 8vo. Black cloth, with title lettering to spine in white. 154pp. Illustrated with 23 photographs by Gianfranco Mantegna, and a double-page spread reproducing the 'Paradise Now' chart (item #53).
Documents Beck and Malina's series of scripted provocations, preceded by a statement that reads: "Writing down 'Paradise Now' did not begin until six months after the premiere. This means that it was not read by the actors until more than a year later, when the writing was completed, more than fifty performances after the premiere."
