The Nervous Set (1959, Jules Feiffer Art) - repro

Tommy Wolf and Jay Landesman’s 'The Nervous Set' arrived at the Henry Miller's Theatre in 1959, running for an accomplished commercial engagement and capturing permanent historical status as Broadway's very first jazz musical tracking beatnik culture. Set inside the smoke-filled Greenwich Village salons and independent magazine offices of Manhattan, the fast-paced satirical plot follows a conventional suburban couple who attempt to infiltrate the cynical, abstract expressionist counterculture loop of the beat generation, scored to a hot jazz quartet. This historic printing showcases the striking line-drawing illustrations of iconic artist Jules Feiffer.
