Heathcote Williams’s harrowing, textually raw avant-garde drama 'The Local Stigmatic' exploded onto the Off-Broadway stage at the historic Actors Playhouse in 1969, running for a brief, highly publicized commercial residency that permanently altered the trajectory of contemporary realism. The claustrophobic, real-time psychological thriller tracks Graham and Ray, two volatile, hyper-aggressive Cockney street thugs who wander a bleak London landscape executing high-stakes strategic deceptions and assault campaigns, culminating in a savage, cold-blooded attack on a famous celebrity. Directed by Arthur Storch, the historic production starred a young Al Pacino.
