BACKGROUND INFO:
Routines, first published by New Directions in 1964 and going through four printings, is now re-issued with the addition of three more of Ferlinghetti's very short experimental plays. These theatre pieces explore the territory between old-style drama and the spontaneous improvisation of the "happening".
It was Ferlinghetti's hope that in "feeling around on the frontiers of the theatre, we may yet possibly discover some 'seeking action' in life itself." In these pieces he conceived theatre as a search for revolutionary solutions with the audience itself made up of good and bad actors "acting out aspirations to some ideal existence."
