{"value"=>"<p>Production files are arranged in chronological order with the year in brackets indicating the date of the opening. The documentation for each production varies in scope and may include notes, sketches, scripts, directing books, programs, program copy, royalty statements, budgets, prop lists, costume measurements, rehearsal schedules, lists of critics invited for opening night, press clippings and correspondence. The later works (from the 1970s and 1980s) are represented by much more extensive documentation than the earlier productions. Also, many of the directing books for the earlier plays are photocopies, which are often difficult to read. While this series represents Living Theatre productions almost exclusively, there are a few files for works designed or directed by Judith Malina and Julian Beck which were not produced by the Living Theatre. Production files are included for the following works: <span class=\"title\">The Infernal Machine</span> [1948]; <span class=\"title\">The Thirteenth God</span> [March, 1951]; Theatre in the Room: <span class=\"title\">Childish Jokes: Crying Backstage</span>, <span class=\"title\">Ladies' Voices</span>, <span class=\"title\">He Who Says Yes and He Who Says No</span>, <span class=\"title\">The Dialogue of the Young Man and the Manikin</span> [August, 1951]; <span class=\"title\">Dr. Faustus Lights the Lights</span> [December, 1951]; <span class=\"title\">Beyond the Mountains</span> [December, 1951]; <span class=\"title\">Desire Trapped by the Tail</span> and <span class=\"title\">Sweeney Agonistes</span> [March, 1952]; <span class=\"title\">Faustina</span> [May, 1952]; <span class=\"title\">Ubu the King</span> [August, 1952]; <span class=\"title\">The Heroes</span> [August, 1952]; Dramatic workshop productions [1952-1953] - never realized; <span class=\"title\">The Spook Sonata</span>[June, 1954]; <span class=\"title\">Orpheus</span> [September, 1954]; <span class=\"title\">The Idiot King</span> [December, 1954]; <span class=\"title\">Tonight We Improvise</span> [February, 1955 & November, 1959]; <span class=\"title\">Phedre</span>[May, 1955]; <span class=\"title\">The Young Disciple</span> [October, 1955]; Dramatic readings [1955]; <span class=\"title\">The Curious Fern</span> and <span class=\"title\">Voices for a Mirror</span> [June, 1957]; <span class=\"title\">Many Loves</span> [January, 1959]; <span class=\"title\">The Cave at Machpelah</span> [June, 1959]; <span class=\"title\">The Connection</span> [July, 1959]; The Theatre of Chance: <span class=\"title\">Women of Trachis</span>, <span class=\"title\">The Marrying Maiden</span> [June, 1960]; <span class=\"title\">In the Jungle of the Cities</span> [December, 1960]; <span class=\"title\">The Birthday Party</span> [1960] - not produced; <span class=\"title\">The Apple</span> [December, 1961]; <span class=\"title\">Man is Man</span> [September, 1962]; <span class=\"title\">The Brig</span> [May, 1963]; Readings: <span class=\"title\">Futz</span>, <span class=\"title\">Potsy</span> [Sept.-Oct., 1963]; <span class=\"title\">Mysteries and Smaller Pieces</span> [October, 1964]; <span class=\"title\">The Maids</span> [February, 1965]; <span class=\"title\">Frankenstein</span> [September, 1965]; <span class=\"title\">Antigone</span> [February, 1967]; <span class=\"title\">The Money Tower</span> [1974]; <span class=\"title\">The Legacy of Cain</span> [1975]; <span class=\"title\">Six Public Acts</span>[1975]; <span class=\"title\">The One and the Many</span> [1980]; <span class=\"title\">The Yellow Methuselah</span> [1982]; and <span class=\"title\">The Archaeology of Sleep</span> [1983]. <span class=\"title\">The Legacy of Cain</span> is a cycle of plays and several of the component pieces have also been given separate files, for example, <span class=\"title\">The Money Tower</span> and <span class=\"title\">Six Public Acts</span>.</p>"}
