The Deer Park (1967 off-Broadway, Norman Mailer, Morrow art) - repro

Norman Mailer’s raw, sexually explosive 1967 Off-Broadway drama 'The Deer Park' turned the stage of the Theatre de Lys into a scandalous crucible of mid-century counterculture, running for a successful 128 performances. Adapted by Mailer directly from his own controversial novel, the non-linear psychological thriller unfolds inside an opulent, corrupt desert resort town in California, tracking an eccentric circle of Hollywood directors, blacklisted screenwriters, and call girls who engage in a cutthroat warfare of extortion and political betrayals. Directed by Leo Garen, the production featured a tour-de-force performance by Hugh Marlowe, beautifully accompanied by the graphic artwork of Tom Morrow.
