THE CLOAKROOM/(LOVELIES AND DOWDIES). 1973.
£125.00
Edinburgh: Demarco Gallery, 1973
21 x 21cm. 12pp. Stapled self-wrappers. First edition of the English language premier of Kantor’s play where all the audience members were instructed that “Entrance to the theatre only through cloak-room/Cloak room obligatory). The programme reprints a synopsis of the play along with 6 b/w images of the cast (one of which is a Kantor photo-collage). The programme also states – “The handing over of outer garments in the cloak-room is the most important duty of the audience”. The final scene of the play is that of the remaining, un-murdered characters (mostly bourgeois) swallowing suicide pills and awaiting their fate. No member of the British Royal family has, sadly, been known to have visited the performance.
