[Handbill]: Royal Shakespeare Theatre Club. Sunday Night Poetry and Jazz ... New Poetry from England and America interspersed with best modern jazz...

London: Royal Shakespeare Theatre Club, [1964].

Price: $275.00

Unbound. Handbill. 5" x 8". About fine. The Michael Garrick Jazz Quartet and others provided background for four actors (including Glenda Jackson) and three poets, Hughes, Smith and Mitchell. Hughes' name has been inked over and Anselm Hollo's name handwritten in. Scarce artifact of a performance uniting several luminaries. In the Spalding biography of Stevie Smith, that it was at this event "was Glenda Jackson's first and last meeting with the poet she was later to impersonate in Hugh Whitemore's play *Stevie*, on stage and screen." I guess it worked, as Jackson won several awards for her performance.
