Bill Manville's SALOON SOCIETY
SALOON SOCIETY is a stage version of Bill Manville's brilliant VILLAGE VOICE column of the late 1950's, capturing the drinking days and nights of the bar crowd of the Beat era. Set to a jazz score, the play takes us to the San Remo, where the lost-and-found souls Manville calls the "intellectuals, horned-rimmed men, poets, dancers, the beat and the bearded and their black-stockinged women, acrobats, tenors, sexual engineers, Spanish waiters, bust-ups and run-aways" act out their lives in vivid poetic fashion. The NY TIMES called SALOON SOCIETY "a downtown bromide, clever, the essence of bitter-sweet, and studded with little gems of truth." With J. Eric Cook, Dana Watkins, Nalina Mann, David Arthur Bachrach, Tony Torn, Frances Uku, Alex Bilu, Carmit Levite, and Dan Illian. Direction and stage adaption by Jim Milton, with assistance by Joan Meltzer. Immediately after the show, there will be a talk-back led by noted biographer, Patricia Bosworth.
